144 million followers.
Ronaldo also enjoyed a huge fan following on other social
media platforms too as he is the most followed person on Facebook and most
followed athlete on Twitter.
Recently, Ronaldo was nominated in the FIFA The Best Men's
Player award alongside Messi and Robert Lewandowski, which the Polish striker
won for his exemplary season with Bayern Munich.
Ronaldo enjoyed great success with Juventus in 2020 as he netted 33 goals in all competitions, which is the highest in Europe's top five leagues this year.
The 35-year-old claims that age doesn't matter to him as he
is hoping to play for many years.
"It doesn't matter the age. What is important is the
mind," Ronaldo told BBC Sport.
"It doesn't matter if Cristiano Ronaldo is good, you
don't know tomorrow what is going to happen. I live in the present, in the
moment."

after inconsistent performances this season. They are currently at the sixth
spot on the points table with AC Milan leading the race.
