Cristiano Ronaldo fan wins $1 million in football challenge against him

• Al Nassr captain, 39, competed against dedicated fan and subscriber Khalid, wearing an Al Nassr jersey with “MrBeast” on the back.

• Ronaldo, despite his legendary status, missed all his attempts to hit three targets in a goal challenge.

Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly forfeited a $1 million prize in a football shooting contest against a fan during a recent MrBeast YouTube video.

The 39-year-old captain of Al Nassr, wearing an Al Nassr jersey emblazoned with “MrBeast,” competed against Khalid, a devoted fan and subscriber of MrBeast’s channel.

The challenge involved both competitors attempting to hit three targets positioned within a goal; however, Ronaldo, despite his illustrious career, failed to score on any of his attempts.

Conversely, Khalid seized his chance, successfully hitting all three targets on his fifth attempt, thereby securing the $1 million reward.

In acknowledgment of the fan’s achievement, Ronaldo extended his congratulations to Khalid.

“I’m so proud of you, my friend,” he said.

This challenge, which garnered 100 million viewers, represents yet another successful partnership between Ronaldo and MrBeast, who had previously collaborated on Ronaldo’s YouTube channel.

In other news, Afrobeats artist Timaya has asserted that veteran musician Eedris Abdulkareem lacks respect in the music industry due to his tendency to be overly talkative.

In a recent interview with Naija FM in Lagos, Timaya dismissed the host’s efforts to draw parallels between his character and that of Abdulkareem.

The host: “You and Eedris Abdulkareem are among the artists that people are mostly afraid of picking a fight with.”

Timaya inferred: “I don’t talk like Eedris. I don’t behave like him…. Nobody is afraid of him because he talks too much. He has always been a talkative.

“I don’t even want people to be afraid of me. I respect myself so that people will respect me.”

On his relationship with Eedris Abdulkareem, he said, “I have never had any problem with Eedris. It was just a relationship of the boss and apprentice. I don’t even think he knows my name at that time. I only gave him shutout because he was part of my success story. We don’t have any reason to communicate. When I was serving in his band, he didn’t had any reason to build a relationship with me. When people are serving you don’t act like you’re tolerating them, treat them like family because you don’t know tomorrow.”
