The 2022 World Cup ended with the historic final between France and Argentina. While Argentina was the country that lifted the trophy, Lionel Messi, the star of the football world and the best of all time, according to some, reached the last success he could achieve.
Of course, with this success, Messi started to run to new records. The photo of Messi, showing the moments when he lifted the World Cup, became the most liked photo on Instagram. The “world record holder egg”, which was the record holder for years, left its place to Messi.
