Cristiano Ronaldo becomes the first person to reach 300 million followers on Instagram

The Portuguese star, who is expected to leave Juventus after EURO 2020, has exceeded 300 million followers on Instagram.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who surpassed Michel Platini with two goals against Hungary nets in the first match of EURO 2020, became the top scorer in the history of the European Championship, this time breaking a record off the field.

Continuing his career in Juventus, the legendary football player managed to become the first person to reach 300 million followers on Instagram.

Playing football in major football countries such as England, Spain and Italy played an important role in Ronaldo's success as a global sports icon, while Barcelona's Argentine star Lionel Messi had 219 million followers. The closest individual Instagram follower of Ronaldo was the US TV star Kylie Jenner.

While Ronaldo reached 300 million followers, the total number of followers of 20 Premier League teams remained at 170 million, once again revealing what a great icon the legendary football player is.
