Over the years, football has proven to be one of the biggest sports. It would not be out of place to call it the biggest.

The thrills and frills it provides to fans can not be underestimated.

While some clubs have gained followership rapidly because of their breathtaking displays, others have a certain form of inexplicable appeal.

We take a look at five of the most followed football clubs in the world

Real Madrid

Los Blancos as they are fondly called. It is not a surprise that they sit atop the list. Real Madrid is the most successful football club in Europe- by a wide margin.

The Spanish kings have 14 UEFA Champions League trophies, 35Laliga triumphs, and 19 Copa Del Rey titles as the icing on their big cake.

Generally, the clubs spell royalty, and who would not want to be associated with royalty?

They boast of 126million followers on Instagram, 112million on Facebook, and 9.7 million followers on Tiktok.

FC Barcelona

Barcelona was always second-fiddle to Real Madrid in Spain, and they have been able to break past that barrier.

The Blaugrana have enjoyed a lot of successes in the last two decades and it has coincided with the advent of social media. It is not a coincidence that the Catalunya giants sit just below their Madrid rivals.

Barcelona has 112million followers on Instagram, 103million on Facebook, and 12.7million on Tiktok.
