Lionel Messi has witnessed steady growth in his social media audience after helping Argentina win the World Cup in Qatar.
The 35-year-old played a central role in La Albiceleste's World Cup campaign, with his leadership and masterclass on the pitch inspiring the South Americans to glory for the first time since 1986.
Messi scored an incredible seven goals during the tournament, including a brace during their clash with France in the final on Sunday.
Argentina's World Cup triumph not only helped Messi cement his place as one of the greatest footballers of all time but also saw him establish his social media presence.
According to ESPN, the PSG superstar has now crossed the 400 million-follower mark on Instagram.
Before the World Cup, Messi had slightly over 300 million followers on but has since amassed 403 million.
