Top 10 footballers with most "Likes" on Facebook

Here is a list of top 10 Footballers who are most popular on the social networking site, Facebook. The fact that the list is dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona players, despite the wide reach of English Premier League, shows how much fans follow these two clubs and love their players.

Apart from Neymar, who has been the biggest mover since the last time the list was taken by the end of January, from 10th to 7th position, others seemed to have either retained their position, with a vast increase in the number of fan following, or dropped down/moved up by a maximum of one spot.

(Note: The number of Facebook Likes of these players was taken by the end of August 2013.)
