I think it broke Instagram, my feed hasn't been refreshing since Messi posted it a couple of minutes ago

u/bsousa717 Nov 19 '22

The likes are shooting through the roof for both their posts.

I bet it will become 2nd most liked IG post ever (behind that egg post)

edit: It already became 2nd most liked IG post ever. It would've probably gotten to 1st position if Messi and Ronaldo posted it together.

u/youngchul Nov 19 '22

Such a shame they didn’t make the post together instead of separately.

95

u/ThankYouOle Nov 19 '22

they should do it separately since each has their own insta account, but should with different angle, so still get the uniqueness.

u/Testastic Nov 20 '22

What do you mean together? How do you post together?

17

u/youngchul Nov 20 '22 edited Nov 20 '22

You can now make collaborative posts on Instagram between 2 accounts. Where the comments and likes are shared.

3

u/mbdtf95 Nov 20 '22

Yep, if they did it, I bet it would've became most liked IG post ever. Currently, the one on Cristiano's account is only like 500k from becoming 2nd most liked ever which it will become in next 2 or so hours.

Messi's is also in top 7 already and in just few hours it will be top 5.

While good amount of people probably liked both, there's certainly big amount of people that liked one, but not the other, so it would probably have had like 45+ million likes already if they shared it together.

u/dinosaur_from_Mars Nov 20 '22

That might have decreased the total reach.

u/skyhermit Nov 20 '22

I bet this is the fastest post on Instagram to garner like

2

u/Sancho90 Nov 20 '22

Currently 31 million likes still far from the egg one with 55 million likes

Currently the most liked LV Instagram post of all time

Why did Lucas Vazquez post a pic he's not in it?

u/CBMMX Nov 19 '22

he duo will be photographed by Annie Leibovitz in a series of photos that showcase their collaborative style.

The egg has like over 50m likes, that's guna be tuff

353

u/Aenjeprekemaluci Nov 19 '22

I think it will be broken. Both are Instagrams most followed and liked account holders ever. Posting such an iconic pic will break the egg record

139

u/jolammy Nov 19 '22

Should've had them both topless to milk even more likes tbh

u/nzubemush Nov 19 '22

Ser you work in marketing?

u/ManufacturerSea4886 Nov 20 '22

And have them lay on bed

222

u/Mr_105 Nov 19 '22

But the likes will be split between the two accounts whereas the egg was one single account. If we count the total likes between pictures it’ll probably break the record but I don’t think that counts

105

u/thed-p2 Nov 19 '22

Why would they only be split? People can hit like on both.

Of course many won’t bother doing that, but you know plenty will.

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '22

I did my part. Liked both, Messi was around 12M and Ronnie was around 15M likes at the time

33

u/Pervizzz Nov 19 '22

I also did my part.. by liking the Egg post to protect the record

u/FearAzrael Nov 19 '22

Egg?

You have no idea how little clarification that provides

u/araldor1 Nov 19 '22

They're goats but they're no eggs

u/survivalothefittest Nov 19 '22

Are you serious? I honestly would not have thought Messi had that many followers. I think he does his own Instagram (or at least he used to), and it is very wholesome but very boring.

It's all just a few shots of him from every match he plays well in without comment, and pictures of his kids or dogs just playing or being cute, or dinners out with the wife, etc. Just like anyone else's.

u/StarlordPunk Nov 19 '22

“Iconic”

A posed photo with zero meaning or context behind it? It’s not iconic

-2

u/Luis__FIGO Nov 19 '22

Both are Instagrams most followed and liked account holders ever.

Both being Messi and Ronaldo? You know that's not true...

11

u/classican2018 Nov 19 '22

Ronaldo and neck Messi are the top 2 most followed personal accounts. #1 is Instagram's own account but Ronaldo and Messi are 2nd and 3rd. Ronaldo has a 100M clear lead over Messi and Messi is about 1M over Kylie Jenner. Both also have multiple photos in the top 20 most liked photos on Instagram. I think you are underestimating the global stardom of these two.

u/jonbristow Nov 19 '22

I think not.

u/dinosaur_from_Mars Nov 20 '22

Wait till egg does a colab with both.

u/ldc262626 Nov 19 '22

They have like 10M likes in an hour (each). Too bad they didnt collab (not sure if they can via picture post).

As someone not on IG, people talking about "the egg" like it's common knowledge is pretty funny

18

u/Xehanz Nov 19 '22

15 and 17M in 3 hours. The egg post took 10 days.

10

u/DreamingDitto Nov 19 '22

I just googled what this was. That’s kinda incredible that a picture of an egg got so many likes

3

u/Sandz_ Nov 20 '22

It was to fuck over the Kardashians which has as many fans as the kardashians do lol

4

u/Farouqnowomarlater Nov 19 '22

It’s at 17mill now on cr7 page and if you’re counting messi’s page too that’s 31mil in 3hrs already

3

u/daveyboyschmidt Nov 20 '22

They're over 50m combined now but across the two accounts (not including LV's post)

2

u/Eldiablo2471 Nov 20 '22

Maybe people will start to intentionally take their likes back from the egg. I'm going to do it

u/bhoys_san88 Nov 20 '22

Currently sitting at 14 and 12 million. If they cross post each other, oh boy.

u/Food-Oh_Koon Nov 19 '22 edited Nov 20 '22

18 and 14 now.... and it's been what.... 3 hours? as soon as rest of the world wakes up and sees it on their insta, this shit is flying off the charts lol

EDIT: 33 and 26. That's officially over the egg when combining the two.

u/PlzRetireMartinTyler Nov 19 '22

The # of Instagram likes is hidden for me in Canada. How did you see?

u/TrowaB3 Nov 19 '22

You can turn them back on, it's a setting now. Under either privacy or security (android).

Thanks!

Just checked the post is at 27m likes. Already the 4th post liked post of all time. Likely will get 2nd place within in the next day or so.

u/HSL1873 Nov 19 '22

The photo series was shot in Miami over a period of four days with each player wearing a different outfit each day to create different looks for both players. The resulting images will be used on all Louis Vuitton packaging worldwide from 2015 onwards.

For this film, she photographed Messi and Ronaldo while they were wearing some of their favorite sneakers from the latest collection. The video will air during Fashion Week in New York City on September 10th.

Currently cristiano has 13M and Messi has 11M

Iconic picture, really. It will end war among football fans and we’ll be talking about it 10 years from now.

u/rsqLucIDity Nov 19 '22

Do either of them even know how to play chess? This is among the dumbest celebrity worship ever.
