It's well known that Barca captain Messi is very private so it comes as no surprise he's not as active on social media as Ronaldo.
David Beckham is the only non-active football personality to make the list.

The Inter Miami owner will be much more active in football once his side begins playing in the MLS next year, but it's still a surprise to see him crack the top three.
Brazil and Paris Saint-Germain superstar Neymar is also an obvious inclusion thanks to his lucrative brand deals such as GaGa Milano.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic also sneaks onto the list thanks to his partnership with brands like Samsung.
You have to wonder if Zlatan will be as active on social media now he finds himself back in Europe.
The 38-year-old rejoined Italian giants AC Milan on Friday night in a deal until the end of the season.

He has a job on his hands to return them to glory as they currently find themselves 11th in Serie A.
Do you think Zlatan will be a success in Serie A?
