Cristiano Ronaldo is enduring a decent life in Saudi Arabia. Ever since the Portuguese stepped foot into the country to make his debut for Al Nassr, the striker has made a significant impact at the club. On the pitch, the striker is leading his side to glory.

Since his arrival, the striker has scored nine goals and provided two assists in 10 appearances. He’ll be looking to chase the top-scoring spot in the league. Now, of course, we are all aware of Ronaldo’s flair on the pitch. But you might not be aware of how much influence he has off the pitch.

Cristiano Ronaldo sees massive gain in followers

Besides being king on the pitch, fans also know CR7 as the “king of Instagram.” The Portuguese icon has more than 500 million followers on the popular social media app. In fact, he is the only person in the world who has crossed the 500 million thresholds.

And the mark has soared even higher as the former Real Madrid star recently gained 15 million followers on the app. The total has reached 563 million, thus making him the most followed person on Instagram. Behind him is PSG superstar Lionel Messi, who has around 443 million followers.

Famous pop singer Selena Gomez ranks third with 401 million, having stolen the title of queen of Instagram from Kylie Jenner. Alongside Ronaldo, Dwayne Johnson gained 5,193,150 followers, while Selena gained more than Ronaldo, with the mark reaching around 22 million.

Lionel Messi might be second on the list, but he recently lost quite a number of followers. Alongside him is the famous media personality Khaby Lame. Kylie Jenner tops the list, thus losing 806,219 followers. Messi’s teammate, Kylian Mbappe, also lost significant followers, with numbers lying around 250,000.

PSG turmoil continues

Aside from Instagram, the struggles of Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe continue on the pitch as well. The duo recently endured a shocking loss at home against Rennes, as they couldn’t lead the Parisians to victory.

However, the loss doesn’t affect their lead in the league, as they are comfortable being 11 points ahead of their rivals, Marseille. Yet it indicates that the French giants are struggling on the pitch.

They also endured a shameful exit from the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich. This was their second consecutive exit from the round of 16, and are yet to clinch their hands on the trophy.

Nevertheless, once again, the main agenda at Parc des Princes will be a massive overhaul in the summer. The media have linked several names with them, with many outgoings expected to be sanctioned at the club.
