It has now crossed over 15.4 million subscribers with at least 18 videos posted by the ace footballer on the platform.

After bagging the world records, the Al Nassr striker, via social media, thanked his fans for their support as he stepped into the world of  content creation.

Taking to his social media accounts, the five-time Ballon d'Or award winner shared a reel in which he unveils his gold YouTube Play Button to his family.
