Cristiano Ronaldo is one of, if not the most popular athlete in the world. The Portuguese football legend has more than one billion followers across all forms of social media, but his fanbase extends far beyond that number. But only a few lucky fans get the opportunity to meet Ronaldo. Recently, a popular YouTuber – Celine Dept – broke down in tears after meeting Ronaldo, and the video of the moment has gone viral on social media. Celine, who has nearly 60 million subscribers on YouTube, is a massive Ronaldo fan. The moment took place just a few days ahead of the start of Portugal’s FIFA World Cup 2026 campaign.
In the video, Celine can be seen already in tears even before Cristiano Ronaldo has fully walked up towards her. The duo share a heartwarming moment after that, with Ronaldo telling her, “Don’t cry”.
“Thank you for everything, you’re such an inspiration,” Celine tells Ronaldo.
Celine then asks Ronaldo for a picture, which the Portuguese legend agrees to.
