The most iconic image was of Emiliano "Divo" Martinez, the goalkeeper who became a national hero and a true legend within a year and a half.
Martinez made reference to Messi's motivational speech before last year's Copa America final, which went viral after it was revealed in the trailer for a docu-series about Argentina's victory in that tournament, in which the captain reminded his friends that the goalkeeper "hasn't gotten to hold his new daughter in his arms yet," as she was born while the team was in isolation To avoid getting infected with corona during the tournament.
In the picture from the plane, "Divo" appeared holding the trophy like a baby, and wrote: "I got to lift it in my hands."
Will break the Instagram record?

By the way, Messi's Instagram photo with the World Cup crossed the 47 million likes mark and he long ago broke the record for the number of likes received by any athlete (Ronaldo's post where he and Messi are playing chess).
Another record for the star's collection, which now challenges the most loved post of all time - a picture of an egg, which received over 55 million likes.
