Messi World Cup photo's battle to be biggest Instagram post (ESPN)

After winning the World Cup, Lionel Messi is set to become the GOAT of Instagram by overtaking @world_record_egg for the platform's most-liked post.

Perhaps Ronaldo can still take solace in the fact that he has comfortably more followers (519m) on Instagram than Messi (402m). Messi is locked in battle with -- and you'll like this -- a photograph of an egg in the race to become the subject of Instagram's most-liked post ever. Messi's World Cup post had around 51 million likes on Tuesday morning after the egg -- perhaps aided by an influx of likes from Ronaldo fans -- surged to the 55m mark. However, the lead has been swapped back and forth as some Insta users have mobilised in a bid to prevent Messi from beating the egg -- so to speak. The photo was first uploaded almost four years ago in a bid to beat the then-world record (18 million likes) set by Kylie Jenner. And no, we're not talking about his era-defining soccer rivalry with [Cristiano Ronaldo](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/22774/Cristiano-Ronaldo).
