Double happiness for Lionel Messi: He won with Argentina and broke a new brand in social networks

The Cristiano Ronaldo vs Lionel Messi duel reached Instagram since the Portuguese is the first and the Argentine the second with the most followers worldwide. The big news is that Messi reached second place, a bit far until a few months ago but, based on his popularity and winning the Copa América plus his move to PSG have helped.

Messi currently has 281 million followers (281,409 thousand), narrowly surpassing the American celebrity Kylie Jenner, who has 281 million and slightly less (281, 336 thousand) and placed in third place.

Gone are also other stars such as The Rock, actor Dwayne Johnson, who has 278 million, or Selena Gomez, the American actress, who has 272 million and was for a long time the account with the most followers.

Cristiano Ronaldo, number one, has 365 million followers, a figure that is unattainable for now and is, together with Lionel Messi, the only two non-American and the only two sports in the top 10 with the most followers of the popular social network that is Instagram.

As if that were not enough, and despite being close to his main rival in everything, the joy of Lionel Messi was even greater today, when with the national team he beat Uruguay as a visitor, being one step away from the next world cup, to be played in Qatar 2022.
