Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are the kings of football on the pitch, and they have shared records and Ballons d’Or in recent years. These two players are, in a certain way, two of the greatest players of past and future history.
But currently, where social networks have become very important, the two players are also far ahead of everyone in this area. If we take the top footballers on Instagram; Ronaldo has 392 million followers, Messi 302 million. Behind, far behind, there is Neymar (168M), Beckham (who is the first player to retire), Mbappé, Ibrahimovic, Marcelo, Pogba, Sergio Ramos and James Rodriguez. This is the top 10.
If we do a general ranking, including all the personalities overall, Ronaldo is still in the lead ahead of Kylie Jenner (303M), and Lionel Messi. These are the two footballers who are in the top 10 which is made up of Ariana Grande, Dwayne Johnson, Selena Gomez, Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, Justin Bieder and Kendal Jenner.
As we know, for several years, footballers have also become influential on Instagram. Here is the proof, and this is only the beginning.
