The Argentine legend of the American Major League (MLS) soccer club, Inter Miami CF, Lionel Messi recently achieved a historic feat on Instagram. The 36-year-old Messi became only the second person to have 500 million followers on Instagram. The first person to cross 500 million followers was Messi’s arch-enemy and Portugal legend Cristiano Ronaldo. Interestingly, despite crossing 500 million followers, Leo is followed by only 308 accounts on Instagram. The highlight is the absence of former club PSG.
Messi is reportedly leaving Inter Miami
Messi arrived at Inter Miami as a free agent in July 2023 after completing his contract with French League One club PSG. Messi looks to be on top form at the start of the 2024 Major League Soccer season. Leo has three goals and one assist in his first three games in MLS. Next up for Inter Miami is a first-leg prequarters clash against Nashville in the CONCACAF Champions Cup.
The news about Messi’s followers on Instagram is now circulating. Not following PSG in it got a lot of publicity. It is interesting to note that among the 308 accounts the Argentinian is following on Instagram, only six football clubs are involved. Two of them are clubs currently playing in the English Premier League. At the same time, Messi’s following on Instagram is also noteworthy without forgetting his roots.

This outspokenness created animosity towards Messi in France, especially among PSG fans. It is also history that Messi was booed by fans in the gallery when he was at PSG. Messi is also the current holder of the 2023 Ballon d’Or and FIFA The Best awards for the world footballer.
