Lionel Messi's Instagram post concerning the World Cup holds the record for the most likes.
In a stunning turn of events, football legend Lionel Messi has broken the record for the most-liked Instagram post ever. The Argentine captain's triumphant celebration of Argentina's World Cup victory in Qatar has surpassed the previous record holder, an egg image that once held the title.
Messi's post, a gallery of images showcasing his jubilant moments after lifting the coveted trophy, currently stands at over 65 million likes and continues to climb. This record-breaking post marks Messi's second milestone on Instagram, following his achievement of reaching 300 million followers, a feat he shares with Kylie Jenner.
The egg image, initially a demonstration vote against star power, was created by British marketing executive Chris Godfrey. It was designed to encourage people to engage with the photo, aiming to dethrone Jenner's record-breaking post of introducing her daughter Stormi. However, Messi's post has now surpassed the egg image's like count by millions.
Messi's record-breaking Instagram post is not his only achievement in the World Cup. The football icon has also broken records for the most World Cup appearances as captain with 19, the most World Cup matches played with 26, and the most World Cup Man of the Match awards with 11. He is also the first individual to assist at five different World Cups.
Argentina's World Cup victory in Qatar marks their first victory in 36 years, ending a long drought for the South American nation. The triumphant celebration on Instagram has not only solidified Messi's status as a football legend but also cemented his place as a social media star.
As the dust settles on the World Cup, it seems that Messi's star continues to shine brighter than ever, both on and off the pitch. His record-breaking Instagram post serves as a testament to his enduring popularity and the power of social media in the modern world.
