Evergrande Taobao are the third most followed club and Barcelona are
fourth, but Real Madrid are down in 18th place. It is worth mentioning
that, five Premier League clubs feature in the top 12 on Weibo.
In Twitter’s place is a microblogging site called Weibo which has an incredible 27.2m Premier League fans – just one million short of the total number of Premier League fans on the whole of Twitter worldwide.
