A Portuguese journalist identified as Pedro Sepúlveda caused a stir and controversy after he assured on his official Twitter account that Cristiano Ronaldo’s presentation with Al Nasr surpassed the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar a few weeks ago between Argentina and France.
“The presentation ceremony of Cristiano Ronaldo on Al Nassr reached 3 billion views on 40 channels worldwide. While the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup Final has a total of 2 billion views,” he wrote.
This tweet was seen by 3.5 million people and generated controversy and controversy as hundreds of users corrected the communicator in the same post. The Sports Journal journalist Omar Al Raisi was one of those who explained the nuances of Sepulveda’s information.
“That’s not true. The presentation was available in 3 billion homes. But it did NOT have 3 billion viewers either live, replay or delayed.”
For its part, another user gave a more detailed explanation, completely refuting the information from the Portuguese communicator.
“Cristiano Ronaldo’s presentation was streamed live on YouTube and barely 200,000 views in three days. It was not broadcast live in Africa, Asia, South America and 3/4 of Europe,” he began.
“It was broadcast exclusively live in parts of the Middle East, so where did the 3 billion numbers come from? Keep in mind that the total population of the Middle East is about 400 million people, and we all know that people did not tune in to the opening, even the Al-Nasr stadium was not completely filled, ”he said.
The arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo caused a huge uproar on social media, with the Saudi club’s Instagram account gaining more than six million followers in just a few days.
