They've won awards on the field and received the attention of millions off the field. They are stalked by paparazzi and adoring (mostly female) fans. If you know soccer, you know David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo. If you don't know soccer, you still probably know these two. But who is the biggest star today? Let's check the Internet.

There was only one name that crossed the worlds of soccer and pop culture for several years. Times have changed, and it appears there's a challenger for the world's most famous soccer playboy.

Cristiano Ronaldo is quickly becoming the new Hollywood-style soccer pro who is stirring up the buzz on and off the field. The 23-year-old is the first since Beckham to draw the attention of the world outside of futbol with a tabloid and paparazzi following that is starting to rival that of the decade-older Beckham. He nabbed yet another individual award when he comfortably won the iconic Ballon d'Or trophy Tuesday and his sponsorship deal with Nike is making headlines of its own.

Another sign of the attention he is receiving can be seen in the way that the two compare on Google Trends:

While Beckham still holds the edge on the number of total search results for his name with 18.4 million versus 16.2 million for Ronaldo, a Google search for news about each stacks up differently:

• Google News Results for "Cristiano Ronaldo" - 22,839
• Google News Results for "David Beckham" - 12,211

Both are talented players. One is rising to prominence on the field while the other is in the twighlight of his career. Regardless of how Ronaldo fairs in the future and what Beckham does next, the pictures below say a lot about both... they're in the spotlight, and they know it. Whether they are in their soccer apparel or not, the pictures will keep on coming.
