A gallery of Lionel Messi celebrating Argentina's World Cup win, has become the most liked Instagram post ever, after receiving more than 63 million likes.

Messi's Instagram post scored over six million more likes than the previous record-breaking post - held by a simple picture of an egg.

The previous holder of the most-liked status was indeed an egg.

When it first appeared it seemed to be some kind of protest vote against celebrity - people were urged to engage with the picture in the hope of toppling the then-record holder, Kylie Jenner.

Jenner was the first woman to get 300 million followers on the social media site - a milestone also achieved by Messi.

Meanwhile, Argentina defeated France on penalties in Monday’s World Cup final in Qatar.
