5 Barcelona players with the most Instagram followers

#3 Gerard Pique - 19.5 Million

Pique has a really high follower count on Instagram

Barcelona's current vice-captain finds his way into third-place in this Instagram-based list. Gerard Pique possesses an invigorating personality, which is absolutely adored by his fans and despised by his haters. The reliable centre-back has been very active off the field, making constant remarks on controversial topics.

His recent decision to take a substantial salary cut to aid his side in a time of need garnered applause from Culers all across the world. Due to his generous gesture, cash-strapped Barcelona were able to register Memphis Depay and Eric Garcia inside the allotted time window.

Touted to take up a high ranking position in the Barcelona hierarchy down the lane, Pique is a popular figure in Catalonia. This popularity directly reflects in his social media presence, with the centre-back boasting an Instagram follower count of 19.5 million.

#2 Sergio Aguero - 20 Million

Aguero is set to return to football next month

Having joined the club earlier this summer on a free transfer, Sergio Aguero is yet to make his first appearance for Barcelona. The Argentine striker was ruled out in August due to a tendon injury to his right calf and is still on the road to recovery. He is expected to make a return in late October.

Neglecting a rough start to life at Barcelona, Aguero has had a career to remember. He spent most of his playing days in England, turning out for Manchester City between 2011-2021. In that duration, the prolific forward managed to amass 260 goals for the club, comfortably putting him at the top of the scoring charts at the Etihad Stadium.

Aside from his goalscoring prowess, Aguero also has a loyal fan base on Instagram due to his likeable nature. An avid Twitch streamer, the 33-year-old veteran, has a total of 20 million Instagram followers, making him the second-most popular Barcelona athlete on the platform.

#1 Philippe Coutinho - 23.3 Million

Coutinho can be an integral player at Barcelona this season

Were such a list drafted in the month of July, Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann would've comfortably taken the top two spots. However, after the Argentine's transfer to PSG and Griezmann's loan deal to Atletico containing an obligation to buy, Philippe Coutinho has the highest number of Instagram followers at Barcelona.

Having secured a dream move to Camp Nou in the winter of 2020, nothing has gone according to plan for the flashy Brazilian. Commanding a mind-boggling initial fee of €135m, Coutinho's signing has been an absolute disaster for Barcelona and is partly responsible for their current financial predicament.

Despite producing a lackluster 23 goals and 14 assists in 94 appearances for the Blaugrana, Coutinho has a devoted following on Instagram. His 23.3 million followers allow him to maintain a decent engagement with his fans. As far as matters on the pitch are concerned, this season could be Coutinho's final chance to salvage his Barcelona career.
