After being the “most searched athlete” of all time, Cristiano Ronaldo took to social media to share a message with his followers.
According to a statement made by Google, “Cristiano Ronaldo is the athlete who has been searched for the most on Google in the past 25 years.” This achievement is comparable to adding another coveted title to Ronaldo’s extensive collection of awards.
X was the platform where Ronaldo shared a brief video in order to celebrate the momentous occasion. CR7’s signature celebration can be seen in this video, and in the final few seconds, the former Manchester United star smiles with a sense of contentment.
CR7 is so high in the Google rankings that even his fiercest competitor, Lionel Messi, cannot compete with him. The name of the Portuguese superstar has been searched for 199.4 million times through the Google tool, which is significantly more than the second-ranked individual, Neymar, who has received 140.9 million searches, and Lionel Messi, who has received 104.4 million searches.
There are five names from the world of football that are among the top 10 athletes that received the most searches on Google. In addition to the top three names, Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland also emerged with searches that reached tens of millions of people.
The Golden Ball has been awarded to Ronaldo five times, and he has also won five titles in the Champions League. In addition to that, the Portuguese player attained great success while playing for Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus, and he also won the European Championship with the Portuguese national team.
Despite the fact that he is currently playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo is still a name that is sought after at the age of 38. CR7 is now in first place on the list of players who have scored in the Saudi Pro League.
