Fans think they spotted an 'embarrassing detail' on the set of Cristiano Ronaldo's YouTube set, following the launch of his new record-breaking channel 'UR'.
The 39-year-old currently playing for Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr, has announced the launch of a new channel to engage more deeply with his global fanbase.
Ronaldo has promised that the channel will reveal a side of him that most fans have not seen, exploring subjects beyond his legendary football career.

The channel will also feature Ronaldo interviewing various guests on a range of topics, although the identities of these guests have not yet been disclosed.
With 12 videos already posted to his 22 million subscribers (at the time of writing) fans thought they'd spotted a rather awkward detail in the Portugal captain's setup.
"Wait, does he have a World Cup replica in the corner," One fan commented.

Another fan replied: "People who watch YouTube don't know much about football so they will be fooled into thinking Ronaldo has the World Cup."
A third added: "No way bro can only dream of that."
While the majority of fans believed the trophy, which sits jus
t above Ronaldo's head in frame, to be a World Cup replica it is in fact the Arab Club Champions Cup which Ronaldo won last year.

Al-Nassr defeated Al-Hilal in the final back in 2023 with Ronaldo grabbing both goals in a 2-1 win, it's fair to say the former Man Utd and Real Madrid man has every right to show the trophy off.
Following the reveal of the channel Ronaldo released a statement of what he hopes to achieve through the channel.
Ronaldo said: "I am very happy to make this project come to life.

"It has been in my mind for a long time but finally we have the opportunity to make it real.
"I have always enjoyed having such a strong relationship with fans on social media and my YouTube channel will give me an even bigger platform to do so and they will learn more about me, my family, and my views on many different subjects," he added.
