Most visited player profiles in 2019: Ronaldo slightly ahead - only one EPL player in top 15
Even as they get older, Cristiano Ronaldo (photo) and Lionel Messi remain the biggest brands in the world of football. On Transfermarkt, this shows in the numbers of the most visited player profiles. The stars from Juventus and FC Barcelona are by far the most clicked players in the TM database.
His Champions League hat-trick against Atlético Madrid on the previous night had the biggest single impact on Ronaldo’s numbers on March 13. Also in course of the Serie A market value update, where the 34-year-old was downgraded significantly, his stats were clicked a lot. In total, his profile was visited more than 8 million times.
For Messi, who ranks slightly behind Ronaldo regarding the total numbers, May 1 and 2 were the best days for clicks in the TM database. The Argentine had just scored two goals in Barcelona’s 3-0 Champions League win against Liverpool back then. Annualized, visits on Messi’s profile accounted for 10 percent of the total clicks on player profiles in LaLiga.
December 2 and 3 were strong days for Messi as well after he just won the Ballon d’Or for the sixth time in his career. He also received a lot of attention from the Transferkmarkt users in March, when he was directly involved in seven goals (5 goals, 2 assists) inside a few days against Lyon (5-1) and Betis (4-1).
The top duo of Ronaldo and Messi meanwhile ranks significantly higher than the third most visited player Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain), who is only slightly ahead of Falcao (Galatasaray) and Neymar (PSG) himself. All three of them are clearly – by several million clicks – behind Ronaldo and Messi. The only current Premier League player in the ranking is Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) who sits in the ninth spot, just behind Bayern striker Robert Lewandowski.
