After Argentina won the World Cup, Lionel Messi shared his happiness with his more than 400 million followers on Instagram, uploading photos and videos from the big moment. 

"So many times I dreamed it, I wanted it so much that I still can't fall, I can't believe it..." he wrote on a post with an image in which he is seen lifting the trophy after the victory against France.

With the new record, the Argentine dethrones the photo of an egg posted on the account @world_record_egg, which had the most 'likes' to date, with 56 million.

Messi's achievement came after playing in the final of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where the Argentina beat France on penalties after 120 minutes of play. 

Other sports figures such as Papu Gomez, who plays on the national team, left him comments of congratulations and gratitude for leading them to the summit of World Football. 

"Thank you for always, Captain," wrote the player.

"We are proud of you," wrote F.C. Barcelona, the club where Messi's legend began. 

Similarly, artists like Bizarrap, Deco, Hannah Stocking, Micro TDH, among many others, congratulated Messi on the long-awaited achievement.
