The Portuguese player has a big following base, but Badge Clinic’s study only ranked him as the second sexiest footballer.

Badge Clinic analyzed the well-known photo-sharing website Pinterest to come up with their conclusions.

They came up with their top ten by counting the number of pins each player received.

Ronaldo ranked No. 2 on the list with 364,476 pins discovered about him.

However, he is far behind Marco Asensio, an ex-Real Madrid teammate.

Currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain, the winger seems to be a Pinterest sensation.

With 903,364 pins, Asensio, 27, has more than 500,000 more than Ronaldo.

Additionally, the Spaniard has more than 15 million Instagram followers.

Brazilian superstar Neymar, who recently joined the Saudi Pro League, is third on the list with 275,274 pins.

Mason Mount, a recent signing for Manchester United, is fourth with 225,224.

With 220,701 pins, Lionel Messi, Ronaldo’s former rival, is only in fifth place overall in the GOAT race.
