1. Cristiano Ronaldo – 138.8 million
However Messi is not the best in terms of social networking.
Finally the top dog on the list of the Top 10 Most Popular Footballers on Social Media is no other than Real Madrid winger Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese winger has a massive fans base of  138.8m fans on Facebook and Twitter making him the most popular football figure on social media.
Cristiano Ronaldo has 103 million fans on Facebook and 35.6 million followers on Twitter adding up to 138.8 for both social network accounts.
The three time FIFA Ballon D’or winner has been in form for the Los Blancos following his £80 million move from Manchester United in 2009 which made him the most expensive footballer at that time but that record has been broken by Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale who joined Real Madrid for £85 million in 2013.
