Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has added another feather to his illustrious cap as the Juventus forward touched 250 million followers on photo-blogging platform Instagram, making the five-time Ballon d'Or winner the first-ever person to touch the iconic landmark.&nbsp;

The Portugal ace became the most popular celebrity on Instagram by completing 250 million followers on the platform with pop star Ariana Grande being second in the list with 214 million followers. Hollywood actor and WWE icon Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is third in the list of people with most Instagram following with 209 million followers.
