POPULAR: Ronaldo became the first sports athlete to break 200 million fans on social media
And the footballer posted a vain picture as he boasted about the milestone.
He told his fans: “Really proud to be the 1st athlete with 200 million social media followers. A big thank you to all my fans!”
But he then faced a backlash, with one poster telling the Real Madrid striker: “75million of them are fake!”
And another hit him where it hurt: “Messi would have 400 million!”
SELF PRIDE: The picture Ronaldo posted with his social media message
Ronaldo has long battled Barcelona star Lionel Messi for “the best player in the world” title.
Ronaldo is well known for his continuous feed of tanned selfies on social media.
The former Manchester United ace even starred in his own film called Ronaldo released last year.
But he has a way to go before he overhauls the top dog on social media, Justin Bieber.
The pop star has 210m followers across Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
Pop queen Katy Perry has 185m, Beyoncé 139m and reality star Kim Kardashian 128m.
HOPES: The 31-year-old has been linked to a move back to the Premier League in the future
KING: He has a way to go to catch Justin Bieber's 210m followers
