The classify where Cristiano Ronaldo already overtook Lionel Messi

Although no official numbers were released for the number of searches, reports claim that Cristiano Ronaldo far surpassed Lionel Messi in the Google report, having notable peaks after having won each Ballon d'Or he achieved (5) or after sealing his third. Champions League consecutively with Real Madrid, where he communicated his intentions to leave the Spanish team at the end of the season.

The Portuguese attacker of Al-Nassr, Cristiano Ronaldo, does not stop achieving records at the age of 38 and recently an advertisement from the famous Google search engine positioned the striker with a new record that will only be possible to break, at least, within 25 years: being the most wanted athlete in history.

As part of a campaign to celebrate 25 years since his birth, Google presented a recount of the highlights of the quarter of a century since its premiere in 1998 and Ronaldo stood out not only as a footballer but as an athlete in general, marking a unique record of more searches along that route.

Messi is far away from the Portuguese’s numbers

Along with the scorer, who has already accumulated 50 goals in 2023, the former Formula 1 driver, Michael Schumacher, appears in second place, who has been hospitalized in his residence in Switzerland for several years in a coma due to a fall while skiing. The curious thing about Ronaldo's feat is that his greatest archrival in football and one considered by many to be the best footballer in history, Lionel Messi, did not appear in the individual search records in the browser.
