Ronaldo Becomes The First Person To Reach 500 Million Followers On Instagram
Manchester United and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo has broken another record by reaching 500 million Instagram 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 the most followed person across all the social media platforms 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.
