News surfaced that Messi had agreed to stay with Barcelona, only to have a completely different story come out shortly after. Apparently Barcelona couldn’t come to an agreement with their longtime star. Messi joined Paris Saint-Germain on a monster contract that carries an annual salary of approximately $41 million.

Fans were pretty excited to see Messi arrive.

Messi also led the Argentine national team to a championship at Copa America.

This has all resulted in the three most liked IG photos ever, and all in one month’s time.

In case anyone is wondering where Cristiano Ronaldo’s most liked post lies, his post in remembrance of Diego Maradona comes in just behind Messi at 4th on the list.

Messi > Ronaldo?
