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

#5 Neymar Jr. (username: neymarjr)

The Brazilian heartthrob and national team captain has 64 million followers on his Instagram handle. Along with pictures of his best moments on the pitch for the Brazilian national team and FC Barcelona, Neymar uses the network to promote his friends in the entertainment industry – many of them being rising young talents who benefit enormously from having a patron like him.

Neymar’s most popular picture is from Christmas 2016, in which he poses with his lavishly decked Christmas tree – with over 2.2 million likes.
