Ronaldo also posted about reaching one billion followers on his Instagram, thanking the fans, writing, “We’ve made history—1 BILLION followers! This is more than just a number—it’s a testament to our shared passion, drive, and love for the game and beyond. From the streets of Madeira to the biggest stages in the world, I’ve always played for my family and you, and now 1 billion of us stand together.”
“You’ve been with me every step of the way, through all the highs and the lows. This is our journey, and we’ve shown no limits to what we can achieve.”
He also holds the record of becoming the first footballer to score 900 goals.
