Cristiano Ronaldo was honored with an award ahead of the 2024/25 Champions League Phase draw in Monaco for being the all-time highest scorer in the competition, with 140 goals. Ronaldo, now playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, aims to reach 1,000 career goals, a feat he humorously discussed with Rio Ferdinand, subtly critiquing Pele's disputed goal tally. His foray into YouTube has been a massive success, breaking the record for the fastest channel to reach one million subscribers and amassing 50 million subscribers in just a week. This new venture highlights Ronaldo's enduring popularity and adaptability beyond football, further solidifying his status as a global icon.
