We are not talking about goals or assists. Neither performances or trophies. The discussion is about the fans, who has the most amount of people singing their names and wearing their shirts. Pelé made an Instagram account and reach the 5 million followers this weekend, but let’s see how are the other players doing.
Actually, there is not possible comparison between Pelé and Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo at this point. The Argentinian has 172 million followers, that is more than 20 times the followers of Pelé. And the Portuguese overcomes these two by a really impressive number.
Cristiano Ronaldo has 247 followers on Instagram, it is one of the accounts that most money makes, it is said that he makes more money by posting on Instagram than his contract with Juventus. Why did this happen? Is this because they really have more fans around the world?

It could be. But it's also a matter of how these three players decided to use their personal image on social networks. Ronaldo and Messi are playing in a new era of football and Pelé found out about Instagram a bit later. But it is a weird fact that Pelé has so few people following him.
