Cristiano Ronaldo is a superstar off the pitch too.

The Portuguese champion has reached one billion followers on social media and celebrates the dizzying number as yet another milestone in a career without end: "We have made history," writes CR7, whose popularity has evidently not been overshadowed by his "escape" to Arabia. "One billion followers is more than just a number, it is a testament to our shared passion, determination and love for the game and beyond. From the fields of Madeira to the biggest stages in the world, I have always played for my family and for you, and now one billion of us are united."

Ronaldo then addressed the huge audience of his fans with these words: "You have been with me every step of the way, through the ups and downs. This journey is our journey and together we have shown that there are no limits to what we can achieve. Thank you for believing in me, for your support and for being part of my life. The best is yet to come and we will continue to push, win and make history together."
