Cristiano Ronaldo gave this savage reply on Sergio Ramos’ Instagram post about reaching 60 million followers
Cristiano Ronaldo made fun of his former Real Madrid teammate Sergio Ramos’ social media followers. He and Ramos are still close to each other after the Portuguese left Real Madrid in 2018.
Ronaldo is a phenomenon both on and off the field, having over 600 million Instagram followers – more than anyone else in the world. With his clout, he criticized Ramos for celebrating his 60 million milestone by reacting to his post: “You need another zero to catch me!” followed by a cry-laughing emoji.
Ramos became a free agent after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired. Now 37 years old, the veteran center defender is closing in on 1,000 first-team appearances for club and country.
During his first season in the French city, the talismanic center defense experienced a terrible year with injury niggles, which coincided with him sliding out of the Spanish squad and fighting for regular games.
He did, however, have a comeback of form and fortune at the Parc des Princes last season, even if it was not enough to earn him a spot in Spain’s World Cup team, as he made 45 appearances in all competitions, 32 more than the previous season.
However, former Spain captain was not granted a new contract in Paris as they reshaped their squad this summer, with Milan Skriniar joining from Inter and Lucas Hernandez joining from Bayern Munich as part of the Ligue 1 champions’ squad revamp.
The ex-Real Madrid captain has a number of options available to him, including Saudi teams Al-Ahli and Al-Nassr. The latter would reunite him with Ronaldo, with whom he spent nine seasons at Real Madrid before the Portuguese superstar left in 2018.
Despite not having been teammates for the past five seasons, the two have now chatted on social media, showcasing their camaraderie off the field. The newest sign of their closeness is Ronaldo teasing Ramos about his social media following.

Ramos had earlier said: “We started in 2014 and – although it seems impossible – we are now 60 million strong. To celebrate this and return some of the love you all give me, I’ve got a great competition for you: a giveaway of 20 pairs of signed Mizuno boots.”
It is uncertain where Ramos will wind up this season, and it is fairly remarkable that no club has yet to sign him. The Saudi transfer window is still open until September 20th, long after the European windows have closed.
