Amid the appreciation for achieving this milestone, Ronaldo's playful intrusion pleasantly surprised the Spanish defender. The Portuguese veteran had himself achieved a significant milestone on the same platform, per GOAL.

Earlier this month, the Al-Nassr captain amassed an astounding 600 million followers on Instagram, placing him ahead of renowned figures such as Selena Gomez, Kylie Jenner, Dwayne Johnson, and Lionel Messi, per SportBible.

This staggering count on social media is tenfold more than his former teammate, Ramos.

Ramos, Ronaldo banter on Instagram

On Instagram, the 37-year-old Spaniard posted an image of himself autographing a set of boots, accompanied by the caption:

"We began in 2014, and now, against all odds, we are a strong community of 60 million."

In response to the defender's post celebrating 60 million followers, Ronaldo humorously wrote: 'You need another zero to catch me' along with a laughing face emoji.

But Ramos, who has always shown a never-give-up attitude, clapped back by reminding the Al-Nassr captain of his penchant to stage comebacks even in impossible circumstances.

"...Specialist in comebacks. Minute 93 and those things," denoting the playful nature of their interaction.

Ronaldo becomes Instagram's top earner

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on Ronaldo becoming Instagram's top earner, as no other athlete or celebrity earns more than the Portuguese star on the platform.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner has overtaken American celebrity, Kylie Jenner, who previously held the top spot with over £1.47 million for every sponsored post.

According to reports, Ronaldo has far exceeded the socialite and businesswoman, thanks to earning a whopping £1.87mil per sponsored post on his Instagram.
