2. Lionel Messi – 76 million
Well we didn’t expect to see arguably the best footballer in the world at number 2 did we? well let’s face the fact that their is someone who is more popular than the Argentine and Barcelona star. Lionel Messi takes up 2nd spot on the Top 10 Most Popular Footballers on Social Media with a Facebook fan base of 76 million making him the 2nd Most Popular Footballers name on Social Media, Lionel Messi does not have a twitter account but his Facebook fans are enough to add his name unto the Top 10 Most Popular Footballers on Social Media. The four time Ballon D’or winner has been in fantastic form for Barcelona this season and has helped them win the Laliga title and will be hoping to help them win the UEFA Champions League if they beat Juventus in Berlin next month to capture the prestigious Champions League trophy.
Some say that Lionel Messi is the best player ever to grace the footballing world, do you agree to that?
