Messi is followed by 4.5 million fans on Instagram. Did the 35-year-old footballer communicate with so many people? This question is in the mind of many people.
"I'm the only one who uses my Instagram account," Messi said in response to fans' questions. No organization or person looks after this account on my behalf.
The Argentina captain said about the account being closed due to fans, "I didn't think it would happen." I didn't post thinking that it will be the most favorite picture. To share the joy of winning the World Cup with everyone, I posted the picture with the trophy. This shows how enthusiastic football fans were to watch the World Cup in my hands.
He also said, I know the picture reached many people. Many people messaged. To be honest, I was able to read only a few people's messages. It was not possible for me to read millions of messages. It was an impossible task. Eventually the messages stopped coming as the account was closed.
