Lionel Messi also beat Cristiano Ronaldo on social media

The post Lionel Messi

“I dreamed about it so many times, I wanted it so much that I still can’t believe it. Thank you so much to my family, to all those who support me and also to all those who believed in us. We prove once again that we Argentines when we fight together and united are able to achieve what we set out to do. The credit goes to this group, which is above individualities, it is the strength of everyone fighting for the same dream that was also the dream of all Argentines…. We did it!!!”

This post by Lionel Messi made history: in fact, it became the post with the most likes by a sportsman in the history of Instagram, with more than 46 million likes.

Beaten, needless to say, by Cristiano Ronaldo. The photomontage made by Louis Vuitton featuring the two champions challenging each other in chess had stopped at 41.9 million likes on the Portuguese’s profile.
