Cristiano Ronaldo Is Facebook's #1 Fútbol Personality

By Michael Lopez

Don't lie, you know you've clicked the "Like" button on Cristiano Ronaldo's Fan page. Or at least someone you know has. The Real Madrid soccer stud has nearly 35 million fans on the social network, making him the most popular fútbol player on Facebook.

Interestingly, Ronaldo's page is pretty bare bones for having that many followers. About roughly once a day, he'll post a picture or a YouTube link of himself on the field. But he's definitely doing something right. Cristiano has 10 million more "Likes" than his closest competitor.

And that would be Barcelona's Lionel Messi. Often regarded as a better player than Ronaldo, he definitely attracts the more die-hard fútbol fans. Right now, Messi's got 25 million "Likes" and some pretty cool graphics strewn across his front page.

Other well "Liked" players include David Beckham (with 14 million followers) and Cristiano's Real Madrid teammate Kaká (who's at 11.5 million). And in case you're wondering, little Leo Coira has his own page too, which is at 10,000 "Likes" and growing!

Which fútbol players do you “Like” on Facebook? Sound off in the comments or @MTV3.
