A few hours ago, Mr. Messi with his first post as a World Cup winner, the one in which we saw him lift the World Cup proudly, he has managed to raise no less over 50 million likes on Instagram and let her be the post with the most likes by an athlete and celebrity in the history of the platform.

In fact, the previous record belonged to Cristiano Ronaldo with a photo he uploaded about a month ago from their collaborative campaign for Louis Vuitton, which has racked up over 40 million likes.

Of course, despite the likes that fell on Messi’s post, so far he has not been able to overcome the most followed post in Instagram history that was… an egg.

This particular photo, which is also the only post on the Egg Gang account, was uploaded on January 4, 2019. The only reason this photo was uploaded was to break the then record for the most likes of Kylie Jenner and the photo of her announcing the birth of her first child, Stormi. Behind this diabolical idea was Chris Godfrey, who works in advertising.

Yes, many Messi fanatics hurried to get your like with the photo of the egg, for Messi to take this first place.

Opera and so it happened. We don’t know if the tactic described above really helped.Messi’s post is now close to 60 million likes, leaving behind an egg with almost 56 million likes.

Now Lionel Messi can boast that he has the post with the most likes in the Instagram story.
