The ace Cristiano Ronaldo reached another expressive mark, but this time off the lawns. Last Sunday, the Portuguese became the first person to reach 600 million followers on Instagram.
The feat was achieved one day after the athlete won the title of Arab Champions Cup with Al-Nassr, his current club. Cristiano was responsible for the team’s two goals in the 2-1 victory over Al-Hilal.
The 38-year-old player was already the most followed profile on the social network, second only to the official Instagram account. CR7 has about 118 million followers more than Lionel Messi, star of Inter Miami and second in the ranking.
Among those involved in the world of football, who comes in third place is the Brazilian Neymar, with 211 million followers. However, the new Saudi football booster is only ranked 20th among all celebrities.
