Football – or soccer if you’re in North America – has some 3.5 billion fans across the globe, making it far and away the most popular sport in the world.

Real Madrid holds on to the top spot as the most-followed football club on Twitter, with a growing lead of more than half a million followers over its great rival (and former number one) FC Barcelona.
