The image of an egg has been surpassed in popularity by Lionel Messi’s post honouring Argentina as world champions.
That post received 56.1 million likes, but Messi’s photos of him lifting the World Cup aloft after Argentina defeated France in Sunday’s World Cup final has now surpassed it.
The PSG star posted 10 photos of the celebrations in Qatar on Instagram after Argentina’s thrilling penalty shootout victory over France.
Messi’s post has received 56 million likes in the time since it was posted, and the forward has also surpassed 402 million followers on the social media platform.
Messi has surpassed Ronaldo’s post from last month – an advert for Louis Vuitton ahead of the World Cup in which the Portuguese star and Messi were seen playing chess that had accumulated 41.9 million likes.
Ronaldo is still the most-followed person on Instagram though, with a staggering tally of 519 million.
