5 footballers you should have followed on Instagram in 2016 (And still can in 2017!)

#4 Cristiano Ronaldo (username: cristiano)

The reigning Ballon d'Or champion has amassed a whopping 85.3 million followers since joining Instagram 5 years ago. His pictures cover a number of his poses with swanky, high-end cars which he parks in one of the most enviable garages in the world. In addition, Ronaldo uses his Instagram handle to interact with many diehard fans in lucky draw contests.

Also featured prominently on his profile is his son Ronaldo Jr, as well as pictures of his enviable shoe collection. Ronaldo’s Instagram handle is a goldmine for endorsers, who make use of his extensive reach (Ronaldo is the most-followed sportsperson on the network).
