Currently, three players are the ones who marked an era: Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar. World renowned, footballers have fans and admirers everywhere. But well, who of the three is the one with the most followers on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook? 

According to research by Opendorse, 63 of the 100 athletes with the highest number of followers on social media are footballers. Of the above, three of them are in the top with the most followers on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter; showing great favoritism over athletes of another sport. With more than 450 million followers, the Portuguese player and Juventus of Turin, Cristiano Ronaldo, is the athlete with the largest number of audience on his social networks. He has 239 million on Instagram, more than 88 million on Twitter, and 123 million followers on Facebook.

In the second position, we find something curious. Lionel Messi has participation only on Instagram and Facebook, leaving Twitter behind; However, that does not prevent him from having more than 257 million followers and following Cristiano Ronaldo as the second athlete with the most interaction. He has 167 million on Instagram and more than 90 million on Facebook.

In the third step of this podium is Neymar. The current Brazilian player of Paris Saint Germain is positioned with figures close to 250 million followers in total. The player of the Parisian squad has 142 million on Instagram, 49.9 million followers on Twitter and 59.7 million on Facebook.
