The group stage of the World Cup is over and Neymar, Leo Messi, and Cristiano Ronaldo have grabbed all the headlines as they were the most talked about players on twitter.
Brazil vs Costa Rica, held on June 22 was the most talked about match followed by Germany vs South Korea.
With Neymar there, and all of Brazil’s matches featuring in the top 10, its safe to say that the Samba boys have the most number of fans on twitter.
The data has been compiled by Twitter metrics and visualizations that illustrates how the conversation has unfolded on the platform since the World Cup began.
Ronaldo’s last-minute free kick vs Spain, Neymar’s 97th minute goal vs Costa Rica, and Germany’s exit from the World Cup have been the peak moments so far as these instances have witnessed the most number of tweets per minute.
Leo Messi was most often paired in tweets with the Goat (Greatest of all time) emoji followed by Ronaldo (@Cristiano) and Guillermo Ochoa (@yosoy8a).
Neymar ended his international career after Brazil were knocked out of the FIFA World Cup 2026 by Norway. The veteran forward signed off as Brazil's all-time leading scorer following a 2-1 defeat at MetLife Stadium.
