Ronaldo reaches 500 million Instagram followers

Cristiano Ronaldo, a forward for Manchester United and Portugal, recently attained 500 million Instagarm followers, shattering another record.

A magnificent shot of Ronaldo and Lionel Messi that recently went viral on the internet sent shockwaves across the football community, with some claiming it to be the greatest sports image ever.

The world’s most popular user on social media is Cristiano Ronaldo.

Following his appearance in a surprise interview with Piers Morgan last week, the Portugal sensation garnered attention for the wrong reasons the entire time. He made jokes about Wayne Rooney, the club’s legendary player, the owners of Manchester United, and manager Erik ten Hag.

After the explosive interview, Man United issued a statement indicating they had started the process of responding to the five-time Ballon d’Or winner. Ronaldo is anticipated to be fired from the team. He is anticipated to represent Portugal in his fifth World Cup match later this month.

On Sunday, November 20, Ronaldo reached the 500 million follower mark on the photo-sharing website Instagram. He now has the highest number of followers on the app globally. Messi, a longtime foe, continues to have the second-highest number of followers worldwide. According to Lifestyle Asia, the two legendary players are the only athletes in the top 10 Instagram users.

That demonstrates their broad appeal thanks to the illustrious football careers they’ve developed over the past 15 years.

According to Goal, Ronaldo claimed in the interview with Morgan that records don’t chase him; rather, he chases them.

The Louis Vuitton-sponsored tweet was published on Saturday night via the respective social media accounts for Argentina and Portugal’s football players.
