Lionel Messi might have thought that he had conquered the biggest challenge of his career when he lifted the World Cup trophy with Argentina on Sunday night, but he now has a new challenge set before him that is proving to be even more difficult.
While the number of likes his image gathered surpassed most of the Instagram records set for the number of likes on a single post, there appears to be one that Messi’s post is yet to beat.
