Cristiano Ronaldo cracks a record set by Lionel Messi – not on a sporting level, but still worth mentioning.
Cristiano Ronaldo has broken another record – and the Manchester United striker has knocked his eternal rival Lionel Messi from the throne on top of that.
However, the milestone is not of a sporting nature. Ronaldo and girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez have twins, which the couple announced in a joint post on Instagram.
Since the announcement last Thursday, the Post has collected more than 30 million likes. A number that has never been achieved for a single post by an athlete on the social media platform.
Ronaldo leads Manchester United to victory against Tottenham
Previously, of all people, Ronaldo’s adversary Messi was the record holder. When he took office on August 11 at Paris Saint-Germain, the Argentine had climbed to the top with 22 million likes.
But also on the pitch, the numbers for Ronaldo are right again. On Saturday he won the Premier League with Manchester United. CR7 took the lead with a fantastic volley drop-off.
