Real Madrid winger Cristiano Ronaldo has achieved another milestone but in social networking not football.
Ronaldo has surpassed 20-million followers on micro-blogging site Twitter, leaving him a comparatively paltry three million shy of the top ten most followed celebrities on the hugely popular site.
Ronaldo, who is currently training in Los Angeles with his team mates, tweeted the news on July 27, shortly after reaching the milestone.
“Hey guys, #weare20million now! Thanks so much for your support. Stay tuned to win some special prizes,” he tweeted.
Those prizes have so far included personalised mugs and smartphone holders as he encourages his adoring fans to send him photos of themselves – with the most retweeted winning the coveted gifts.
Followers have since been flooding his timeline with images in which they are captured wearing Ronaldo football shirts bearing the number 7 he wears for Real Madrid and the Portugal national team, as well as rooms filled with Ronaldo memorabilia.
