As the year 2024 draws to a close, it’s time to reflect on what has been a thrilling year of football. From Bayer Leverkusen upsetting the apple cart and winning the Bundesliga unbeaten, to Manchester City lifting a historical fourth Premier League title in-a-row. From Spain clinching the Euro 2024 title, to Real Madrid winning a 15th Champions League, it’s been a stellar year of the beautiful game. But from all the twists, turns and drama, which players have been the most popular? Who have you been searching for? At Transfermarkt, we have calculated the 30 player profiles with the most views across 2024 on all English-speaking domains, with some star names and exciting young talents leading the way. The list can be scrolled through below.
Leading the way is none other than 39-year-old superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. It hasn’t been the best year on the pitch for the legendary forward. He crashed out of Euro 2024 with Portugal without scoring a goal, although he has still been prolific in the Saudi Pro League. Nevertheless, football fans continue to search for him and flock to the legend’s player profile. In second place is another icon of the game in 37-year-old Lionel Messi. The third most viewed player profile of 2024 was none other than Kylian Mbappé – no doubt enhanced by his big summer move to Spanish giants Real Madrid. In fourth was Englishman Jude Bellingham after a terrific year with club and country, and completing the top five was Manchester City goal-machine Erling Haaland.
