The photo shared by Lionel Messi after winning the World Cup has exceeded 57 million likes. Messi’s post surpassed the ‘egg photo’, which received more than 56 million likes, to become the most popular Instagram photo ever shared.
THE EGG WAS THE FIRST GRADE
The record for the photo with the most likes on Instagram belonged to an egg. Then why? The Instagram egg is a photo of an egg posted on the platform by the @world_record_egg account. Within days of its creation, it has become a global phenomenon.
Kylie Jenner posted a photo of her baby on Instagram on February 6, 2018. The photo was liked by 18 million people and became the “most liked” photo on the social media platform.
The @world_record_egg account shared a photo of an egg on Jan. 4, 2019 with the caption, “Let’s break a record together and make this photo the most liked photo in the world. This record now belongs to Kylie Jenner with 18 million! Let’s do it!” ” She wrote. The egg was originally photographed by Serghei Platanov and posted on Shutterstock on June 23, 2015. The photo of the egg broke records in 2019 and won the title of the most liked photo on Instagram. To date, it has received 56.1 million likes. Kylie Jenner, who lost the record to the egg, shared her “sadness at her” in a humorous way by sharing moments when she broke eggs.
AND THE RECORD IS NOW WITH MESSI
However, the egg photo lost the title to the world-famous star Messi. The photo Lionel Messi shared after Argentina won the World Cup has become the most liked photo in Instagram history, leaving behind an image of an egg.
Following Argentina’s victory over France, the PSG star shared 10 photos from his celebrations in Qatar. Messi’s post has surpassed 57 million likes since upload, and Messi has also surpassed 402 million followers on his social media platform.
Messi said he wanted the trophy a lot and dreamed of it: “I would like to thank my family, everyone who supports me and also everyone who believes in us. Let’s prove once again that we can achieve what we want when you fight and unite.”
Messi’s post surpassed the number of likes Cristiano Ronaldo’s post received last month. The photo of the Portuguese star and Messi playing chess for the ad received 41.9 million likes.
THE NAMES WITH THE MOST FOLLOWERS ON INSTAGRAM
Despite these figures, Ronaldo is still the most followed person on Instagram with 519 million. He became the first person to reach 500 million followers on the social media site last month.
The Portuguese star is at the top in terms of followers, with Messi in second place. The two stars are the only athletes in the top 10. Kylie Jenner, Selena Gomez, Dwayne Johnson, Ariana Grande, Kim Kardashian, Beyonce, Khloe Kardashian and Justin Bieber are other names in the top 10.
