Many supporters believe Lionel Messi has resolved the GOAT issue with Cristiano Ronaldo by winning the World Cup on Sunday.
The 35-year-old has also outdone his competitor on social media, who has more than 500 million followers, with his most recent Instagram post.
Messi posted a picture of himself clutching the World Cup trophy while Argentina was celebrating shortly after winning the world champion.
He posted, "CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD!!!!!!!" "I can't believe it; I've thought about it so frequently and wanted it so much that I still haven't fallen... I want to express my gratitude to my family, my supporters, and everyone who believed in us.
"We demonstrate once more that Argentinians can accomplish their goals when they fight together and as a single front."
With 56 million likes, Messi's post has surpassed the world record egg to become Instagram's most popular ever.
Messi played a captain’s role in Argentina’s win over France on Sunday, the South Americans’ third World Cup title and first in 36 years.
Messi scored twice, while Kylian Mbappe netted a hat-trick as the two sides drew 3-3 in extra time to send it to penalties.
Argentina would go on to score all four of their spot-kicks, stealing the crown from the reigning champions, who missed two of theirs.
Messi posted another Instagram picture with him holding the World Cup on Monday afternoon as he travelled back to Argentina on a plane with the Jules Rimet trophy.
