This World Cup in Qatar 2022 was full of records for the Argentina national team. Last Sunday, after winning at Lusail Stadium, a record was broken on the WhatsApp messaging platform. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced this.
Via Facebook, the mogul emphasized that 25 million messages per second are sent through the app. “In the final, WhatsApp also reached a record 25 million messages per second,” Zuckerberg’s official account said in a post.
The Facebook creator also confirmed that Lionel Messi’s post after he became champion was the post with the most likes in Instagram history.
The mogul’s statement refers to a carousel of photos uploaded by Messi hours after beating France in a penalty shootout in what is already considered the best match in the competition’s history.
Messi toppled the famous egg post that racked up 57 million likes for nearly four years. Now number 10 has become the athlete with the most likes in the history of the social network, thus surpassing his football rival Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Portuguese surpassed him with a photo in which he appeared with Messi playing chess in a Louis Vuitton ad campaign.
Messi was a key player in the Argentina World Cup as Albicelesta was able to emerge thanks to the PSG star. 10 broke 12 records during this world championship. He became the second top scorer, the player with the most appearances and goals in every stage of the tournament.
The striker also won the Ballon d’Or, an award given to the best player in the Cup, and this will be his second award since he also won it in Brazil in 2014.
