This time last season in the Premier League, Man City were two points clear at the top of the table, with Chelsea and Liverpool only separated by goal difference below them. While Chelsea’s title bid would drop off, it remained a close fight between City and Liverpool over the remainder of the season, with City emerging eventual winners by just one point.

This season though, City have already blinked three times, registering two losses and a draw to put them six points behind a Liverpool with only one blemish on their record so far – a draw at Man Utd. Speaking of the Red Devils, United are languishing in 10th place – three places below their position at this stage last season, and closer to the bottom of the table points-wise than they are to the top of it.

After Cristiano Ronaldo made the switch from Real Madrid to Juventus, his annual salary was in the region of $34 million, according to Goal.com. As lucrative as that salary is, the five time FIFA Ballon d’or/Best FIFA Men’s Player winner actually earns far more money from paid Instagram posts. That’s according to a Hopper HQ study on Buzz Bingo which was published by Business Insider.

It found that Ronaldo has earned $47.8 million from paid Instagram posts over the past year and that he is the platform’s highest earner. Due to his incredible reach on Instagram, some companies willing to fork over nearly $1 million for a slice of the action and the Portuguese player reportedly pockets an average of $975,000 for each paid post on his account.
