Fans mock Cristiano Ronaldo for using fake trophy on his new YouTube channel

Ronaldo recently opened his YouTube channel and broke a massive record with 1 million subscribers in one hour.

The Portuguese superstar shared a video about his goal of building a closer relationship with his global fan base, which has amassed more than 15 million members.

His YouTube channel's set was cleverly created with multiple trophies affixed to the surroundings, which has left fans in shock.

One shimmering gold item that proudly rests on the former Real Madrid icon's mantelpiece has surprised fans despite the set's low lighting and lack of personal touches.

However, it turns out that the trophy is the Arab Club Champions Cup, which looks surprisingly similar to the World Cup, the one honour that Ronaldo has failed to win during his illustrious career.

Despite that, fans on X have expressed their laughter over the item's inclusion on social media, with some stating that the forward 'can only dream' of obtaining the genuine thing.

One fan said, “Flexing a friendly trophy just because it looks similar to World Cup k@lls me. You can see how much 18/12 traumatised him 😂”

Another fan wrote, "Btw, Al Nassr's friendly trophy is Ronaldo's personal possession.”

One fan commented, “Cristiano Ronaldo posted on his YouTube set-up an unofficial trophy that he was given in Saudi Arabia that looks like a World Cup trophy.”

Another fan replied, “It's not even the World Cup from Ali Baba. He is the funniest footballer ever.”

Ronaldo continues to increase his followers on his new YouTube channel as he begins a new career journey outside of football.
