📲 Haaland on YouTube: footballers with or without active channels ⛔ | OneFootball

Erling Haaland has also launched his YouTube channel where, in the first video, he talked about his diet and his cooking skills.

The Norwegian is the latest of the footballer-YouTubers: a side activity that only a few players manage to maintain during their careers.

Let's look at the channels of active players who regularly post content.

Cristiano Ronaldo - 77 million subscribers

After launching his channel in August 2024, CR7 gained 10 million subscribers in less than a day and now has 77 million subscribers.

The Portuguese star has used various formats like "quizzes" or "tier lists" and has collaborated with MrBeast, Rio Ferdinand, and other personalities.

Publications have decreased in the last 6 months, and he has mainly used the channel for announcements or brief insights on official events: such as the renewal with Al-Nassr or the Nations League victory.

Thomas Muller - 705,000 subscribers

Far fewer subscribers for Thomas Muller, who is among the few players to post videos almost regularly.

Upon arriving in Vancouver, he shared his adjustment to the city with a series of 7-day videos, later updating with a recap of his first two weeks in Canada.

Jesse Lingard - 555,000 subscribers

Jesse Lingard, who plays in South Korea for Seoul, occasionally shares his life through videos: vlogs, challenges, and even trying to cook typical Korean dishes.

The publication frequency is not consistent and tends to decrease during the sports season, but the account is still active and is also used for official sponsor communications.

Rafael Leao - 215,000 subscribers

Rafael Leao is not consistent in video publishing, which stopped about 3 months ago with the release of Part 2 of his trip to Brazil. The vlogs are not as professional as those published by Muller and Lingard, but last season he also posted challenges and Q&A sessions.

However, Leao often goes live on Twitch, an activity that has attracted some criticism and even generated some gaffes during live streams.

Big but inactive channels: Messi, Neymar, Bellingham...

There are also many footballers who have opened their YouTube channel, published for some time before stopping and making the channel inactive. A sort of container for official communications, or to be used as an additional channel for sponsors.

This is the case for Neymar (5.4M subscribers), Messi (4.3M), Vinicius (2.4M), Mbappé (1.3M), Benzema (582k), Alphonso Davies (380k), Bellerin (157k), and Rodrygo (121k).

A separate case for Jude Bellingham, who stopped posting videos about 9 months ago after providing insights on his first season at Real Madrid.
