The most followed footballers on Twitter

Xabi Alonso (Spain/Real Madrid – 5.7 million followers) [@XabiAlonso]

The Spanish midfielder is one of the classiest operators around in the game. And he brings that sense of assuredness and class to the Twitter world as well.

Alonso regularly tweets on music, tv shows and movies and also in general about football even when it does not involve Real Madrid or Spain. His love for great footballing moments and history is quite something and it shows Alonso’s deep-seated love for the game.
