Lionel Messi created history on Sunday at the Lusail Stadium in Qatar by becoming the third-ever Argentine captain to lift the FIFA World Cup trophy.
Scaloni's men were able to take the trophy home after a 4-2 win on penalties following a 3-3 draw after extra time in one of the greatest World Cup finals of all time.
The image of Messi kissing the World Cup trophy was an instant hit among fans as the PSG forward started trending across all social media platforms.
This is Messi's third trophy with the Argentine National Team as he won the Copa America in 2021 and The Finalissima earlier this year.
The greatest soccer player of all time also took to his official Instagram account to thank his family and all the people who supported him in his journey.
Messi's post is currently the second most liked Instagram post by a sportsperson. It's only behind Cristiano Ronaldo's iconic image of the two soccer legends playing chess together.
