Cristiano Ronaldo breaks Lionel Messi’s Instagram record

Cristiano Ronaldo has broken another record. The Manchester United striker has also knocked his eternal rival Lionel Messi off the throne.

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.

Previously, of all people, Ronaldo’s adversary Messi was the record holder. When he took office at Paris Saint-Germain on August 11, the Argentine posted a photo with his family and climbed to the top with 22 million likes.

But also on the pitch, the numbers for Ronaldo are right again. On Saturday he won 3-0 with Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. CR7 took the lead with a fantastic volley drop-off.
