The most followed footballers on Twitter

Cristiano Ronaldo (Portugal/Real Madrid – 22.05 million) [@Cristiano]

One of the best players in the world and also an ardent tweeter; at least his PR team is. The tweets are primarily about football, but with the array of sponsors surrounding him, CR7 also does announce contests and sweepstakes.

And, of course, there’s the fake PR-managed modesty! C’mon Cristiano, you surely didn’t expect us to not see through that. But that doesn’t matter, there’s no harm in admitting how good you are, especially when the whole watching world knows it.

On the field, Cristiano just goes out and does it, exactly as his fans and sponsors would want him to.
