Real Madrid and Barcelona headline the 30 soccer clubs with the most social media followers as of June 2025, and it's not particularly close with the rest of the field.
There's no doubt Spain's two biggest clubs have a global following helped on by Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi's popularity throughout the 21st century. Both players were ambassadors on the world stage helping grow and evolve the game. And, their profiles have further helped expand followings for the other clubs they've played at since departing La Liga.
