In a sensational final on Sunday, Argentina won the World Cup after beating France in Qatar. It was the crowning achievement for team captain Messi, who said it would be the last World Cup match of his remarkable career.
He scored two goals in the final and was awarded the Ballon d'Or as the best player in the tournament.
The triumph in Doha was Argentina's third World Cup victory and first since 1986, when the legendary Diego Maradona led the team to victory in Mexico.
Before Messi's post, the most liked photo on Instagram was an ordinary brown egg. Posted in 2019, it had over 57 million likes and surpassed the previous record held by Kylie Jenner.
