World Menu. And what a heart attack ending. After having to risk it in the penalty shootout, Argentina was finally able, and after 36 years of waiting, to lift the world Cup with the help of its captain, the famous footballer lionel messi. The image of the striker holding the trophy is already living history of the sport and also, judging by the likes of his followers on Instagram, also history of the social network if we take into account the huge amount of I like that accumulates at the moment. Of course, contrary to what some proclaimed, the record has just been achieved just a few minutes ago since until this morningthere was another that, inexplicably, continued having more hearts…
The most viral photo in the history of the network (so far)
If you have ever read our article about the photos with the most likes on Instagram, you will remember that there is one image that stood out above all others. Between poses by celebrities like Cristiano Ronaldo, Ariana Grande or the complete cast of Friends, the image more liked it was the one of egg. Yes, you read that right, an egg.
As we told you at the time, the record was totally intentional: the account, baptized @World_record_egg, was created with the sole objective of achieving that milestone (and incidentally demonstrating what dumbfounded that we can become in the networks, everything is said), and currently has 55,927,408 likes on Instagram.
A record that until a few minutes ago was still higher than the photo of Messi with the World Cup although, in a matter of no time, the tables have been turned, and we can now officially say that he is in second position, below the soccer star .
Messi and the World Cup already have the record on Instagram
As we pointed out, the Argentine soccer phenomenon has ended up taking the prize. And it is that, at the time of writing these lines, his image of the championship It has 56,241,721 likes and risinga figure that it has achieved in just one day of publication – while the egg, already stagnant, was uploaded to the platform on January 4, 2019 and has been slowly adding up over all these years.
This morning they still had a difference of just over 200,000 likes in favor of the “world record egg”, but given the impact of the player, it was to be expected that Leo’s fans who had not yet given a like would be in charge of making that the image of its celebration would also become part of the history of the social network.
And is not for less. After years dreaming of the Cup, Messi has finally become part of the select list of players who they have won every major title possible within the beautiful sport. A perfect gold closure for a historic player.
