Among all athletes across various sports, Cristiano Ronaldo came out top with the most searched query.

The Manchester United and Real Madrid legend, who is currently plying his trade with Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, saw off other big-name athletes in other sports to come out top.

Ronaldo's emergence as the most searched athlete on Google's algorithm is not coming as a surprise. First, football was the most searched query among other sports hence big-name stars like Ronaldo who dominates the game are expected to floor other athletes from other sports on Google search engines.

While the stats as unveiled by Google measures all search queries with minimal error, it is still a contentious football claim that Cristiano Ronaldo is more popular than his rival Lionel Messi based on Google searched queries.

Ronaldo is undisputably one of the biggest names in modern football but the Portuguese seemed to have ceded some bragging rights to Lionel Messi's camp on the GOAT debate after the latter won the World Cup trophy and went ahead to extend his Ballon d'Or count to 8, 3 more than Cristiano Ronaldo

Despite coming second to Lionel Messi on major football trophies and individual honors, Ronaldo still commands a huge presence in social media.

He is the most followed athlete on Instagram with 615million followers. Also, Ronaldo seemed to have won the publicity stunt in 2023 with a spectacular performance for club and country.
