Manchester United and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo has broken another record by reaching 500 milion Instagarm followers.
Ronaldo recently broke the internet with a stunning photo with Lionel Messi, which caused shockwaves in the football world, with some declaring it is the best sports photo of all time.
Ronaldo is currently the most followed person on social media in the world. The Portugal superstar made headlines for the wrong reasons the whole of last week, after he appeared in a surprise interview with Piers Morgan. He directed jibes at the Manchester United's owners, manager Erik ten Hag, and club legend Wayne Rooney.
Man United are expected to fire Ronaldo after the bombshell interview and released a statement late last week, saying they've initiated a process of responding to the five-time Ballon d'Or winner. He is expected to play in his fifth World Cup tournament with Portugal later this month.
On Sunday night, November 20, Ronaldo's follower count on photo-sharing application Instagram hit 500 million. That makes him the most followed person on the app in the world. His long-time rival Messi remains the second-most followed person in the world. The two iconic footballers are the only athletes in the top 10 of the most followed people on Instagram, according to Lifestyle Asia.
That is a testament to their expansive reach through the legendary football careers they've built over the last 15 years.
In the interview with Morgan, Ronaldo said that he doesn't chase records; they chase him, according to Goal.
Sports Brief earlier reported on Ronaldo and Messi breaking the internet with a spectacular photo. The post, sponsored by Louis Vuitton, went up on Saturday evening via both the Argentina and Portugal footballers’ respective social media handles. Ronaldo's post is the fastest to reach 10 million likes on the platform.

When you talk about these individual awards, except golden boot all the awards are based on votes which may be biased, for example Ronaldo was robbed of a Ballon d'Or in 2018 Proof: If you talk about golden boots. It is decided on the basis of league goals and it doesn't necessarily mean good goalscoring. For example if A scored 20 goals in 30 games and B scored 19 goals in 18 matches. Golden boot will be given to A. Now let's come to goal ratio. The only reason why Messi's career goal ratio is greater than that of Ronaldo is because Ronaldo played as a right midfielder in the toughest league for 5 years. That's why Messi scored his first UCL goal before CR7 and was ahead of him until 2015. but people Like Dad will say otherwise...!!! Messi has always been in La Liga for all his career.. Blank in PSG and in La Liga Ronaldo has scored 311 goals in 292 games. If Ronaldo played all his life for Real Madrid he would have scored 1000+ goals by now. On top of all that CR7 has these advantages over Messi He is better goalscorer. He is not a system player. He has won for his country. He is much better in UCL which is the best club competition. He is much more compete forward, left foot, right foot, head.. Ronaldo > Messi Now I hope all you Messi lunatics will come to your right senses In conclusion Ronaldo > Messi, Maradona, Pele. Ronaldo = GOAT

Like idol like fans. Frauds tbh, impersonating others users accounts to spread hate instead of having balls to say what they believe.

Ronaldo without Real Madrid 1x UCL 3x premier league 2x Serie A 1x club world cup 1x FA cup 2x Community shield 2x English cup 1x Coppa Italia 2x Super Coppa Italiana 1x UEFA Euro 1x UEFA nations league 1x Fifa the best special player 1x Ballon d'or 1x Fifa world player of the year 1x European Golden shoe 1x UCL top scorer 1x UEFA best forward of the year 1x Serie A MVP 1x Serie A golden boot 1x Premier league golden boot 2x Premier league POTM 1x PFA fans' POTM 1xGlobe soccer player of the century Messi without Barcelona: 1x Copa America golden boot 1x best assist of the 94949 pre assists be in the GOAT debate. Meanwhile Messi is an average 1x UEFA nations league golden boot 1x UEFA Euro golden boot 1x Puskas award 1xGolden foot International top scorer 1x Ligue 1 champion 1x Finalissima 1x Copa America 1x Copa America MVP season 11x crossbar D'or 40x assists D'or Ronaldo can perform outside his comfort zone and still player outside his comfort zone. Messi's greatest achievement is that he's being compared to Ronaldo. No wonder why he escaped from La liga to Farmers league and now is trying to escape to retirement league after getting kicked out of UCL as usual

Ronaldo is supposed to have more Balon d’Ors but due to the hate and Messi being too over protected he was given almost all the Balon d’Ors for doing nothing, he won ordinary Copa America and they gave him Balon D’Ors for it lol, but Ronaldo scored in every champions League goals in 2018 apart from the final, he even got his best career goal against Juventus, he always had his best World Cup performance again Spain, scoring his iconic freekick to make it a hattrick, but what did France football do? Let me tell you what they did, they snubbed Ronaldo and give it to Modric instead😂😂😂😂 Being the most hated player by the voter did the damage

Everything you wrote was only on goals which is one of the aspect of footbal.Let me ask you, with all you wrote, has cristiano able to attain 6 golden shoes? Has cristiano able to score 91 goals and 41 assist in a single year? Has Cr5 able to win highest goal scorer award, highest assist award and best player award at once? Cristiano 801 goals but only 4 golden shoes! So what is the use of those goals? 801 goals but 33 trophies 🏆 and Messi 42 trophies🏆! Cristiano played over 150 matches than Messi to get to 801 goals but Messi just need few more goals to reach 800 goals.
