Cristiano Ronaldo Breaks the Internet: 4 Million Likes in Just Two Hours as He Dazzles in Underwear Photo
Cristiano Ronaldo may no longer be involved at the business end of the European football season but his social media appeal appears as strong as ever.
The five-time Ballon d'Or winner posted a picture of himself soaking up the Saudi sunshine in just a pair of his sponsor's underwear on Saturday morning.
The poolside snap raced to over four million likes in almost no time at all.
Even at the latter end of a glittering playing career, Ronaldo's social media game remains remarkable.

With a following of 584 million on Instagram and 108 million on Twitter the Portuguese star continues to have unprecedented pulling power, even in light of a brief setback when his blue tick was briefly taken off him as part of Elon Musk's legacy purge.
Having soaked up some sunshine, Ronaldo will be getting his kit back on when his Al-Nassr side resume their title pursuit against third-placed Al-Shabab on Tuesday.
