2. Lionel Messi – 76 million
Lionel Messi takes up 2nd spot on the Top 10 Most Popular Footballers on Social Media with a Facebook fan base of 76 million.
Messi does not have a twitter account but his massive Facebook following puts his second on the list and probably most impressive due to not having a Twitter platform.
The four time Ballon D’or winner has been in fantastic form for Barcelona this season and has helped them win the La Liga title and will be hoping to help them win the UEFA Champions League if they beat Juventus in Berlin next month.
Some say that Lionel Messi is the best player ever to grace the footballing world, and it’s hard to disagree.
