Messi or Ronaldo

the reach that football has is truly global, in almost every country their names are synonymous with the sport

the answer is 100% messi or ronaldo, a lot of the actors/historical figures that people mention are only really popular in first world countries or the west.

my grandfather (from a third world country) knows messi and ronaldo but has no clue who any of the people who were mentioned above are, with the exception of maybe hitler

As much as l love Ronaldo/Messi , Ronaldo has roughly 1 Billion followers across all platforms while Messi had reportedly around 1 Billion watch him in the 2022 WC final.

Everyone in China is going to know Xi Jinping and everyone in India is going to know Narendra Modi. That's roughly 1.4 Billion each.

Followers ≠ people that RECOGNIZE them, also your logic kinda falls apart when you mention people knowing Jinping or Modi bc of their country and not by their socials.

followers mean nothing, the majority of people don't go out of their way to follow people especially not the older generation

Likely Ronaldo or Messi because theres big groups of people everywhere who knows one of them. I think the difference makers are random countries in like Africa and Asia. It will stack up quickly.
