Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most popular athletes in the world, and his fame extends well beyond the world of football.

Ronaldo's social media presence has been well-documented. The 36-year old is one of the followed sportspersons in the world, and his social media sponsorship deals have been well-covered over the years.

Ronaldo's Wikipedia page is no different. The Manchester United forward's Wikipedia page is the most viewed for a male athlete, and this record is not surprising to say the least.

Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid spell was a truly spectacular one, with the forward consistently breaking records during his time with the club.

Ronaldo, who is Real Madrid's all-time top goalscorer, created another record during the 2013-14 season. The former Sporting CP man scored 17 goals in just 11 Champions League appearances that season, thus becoming the player with the most goals in European club competition in a single season.

His performances did not go in vain, with Real Madrid winning the Champions League that season.

Cristiano Ronaldo's brace against Republic of Ireland a few days ago saw him become the all-time international top goalscorer in men's football.

The Manchester United man broke Ali Daei's record along the way. Ronaldo now has 111 goals in 180 appearances for the Portugal national team, a record which looks unlikely to be broken anytime soon.

Ronaldo's fitness and longevity have often been appreciated, and the 36-year old takes good care of himself. The attacker looks set to add more goals to his international tally, having shown no signs of slowing down.
