    That number has risen by a staggering 48 per cent in the last year alone and means he is far more popular than any other footballer – even Lionel Messi.
    Ronaldo’s follower count is tremendously lucrative too – each post has a media value of £3.1m according to analysts Nielsen Gracenote.
    Messi is a distant second but the pair are in a world of their own compared to the rest of the top ten – just as they have been on the pitch over the last 15 years.

    Atletico Madrid 1 Real Madrid 2: Los Blancos win manic derby against 10-man rivals which is marred by vile racist chants

    REAL’S return to the top of LaLiga was marred by large-scale racist chanting from Atletico fans at Vinicius Junior.Rodrygo and Federico Valverde earned victory before Atleti sub Mario Hermoso replied late on, only to see red in stoppage time.

    Not a single security guard intervention in those disgusting chants. Atletico have not banned their Ultras the way Florentino banned Real Madrid’s. Let’s see what action the club takes. You can’t just chalk this up as a ‘few bad apples’ and let them go on. Ban them forever.— Kiyan Sobhani (@KiyanSo) September 18, 2022

    Real joy, though, was overshadowed by “monkey” shouts from swarms of Atletico supporters before the match.
    And claims hit social media of stewards doing nothing to stop the behaviour outside Atleti’s Wanda Metropolitano stadium.
    Such anger over the chants lit the fuse for another fierce derby.
    And Carlo Ancelotti’s men responded best, making it nine wins in nine games this season, their sixth in LaLiga.

    Yet Atletico menaced twice early on in this heated clash.
    Felipe headed Rodrigo de Paul’s free-kick over and Yannick Carrasco had a shot deflected wide.
    But Real netted brilliantly on 18 minutes from their first chance.

    But he was booked for dissent and soon harshly sent off for a second yellow card after shoving Dani Ceballos.
    The pre-match racism, however, left a bitter taste.
    And social media was blitzed by calls for Atletico to be punished.
    One observer posted “I feel sick” and another stressed the number of offenders as he tweeted: “It’s f***ing thousands. I’m at a loss for words”.
