Four photos from a viral photoshoot featuring none other than the GOAT, Lionel Messi, and a player who many have tipped as his successor, Lamine Yamal, have emerged.
Amazingly, the two met when Yamal was a five-month-old baby and Messi had just turned 20 years old. Currently, Messi is 37 and Yamal turns 17 next week. Messi is in the Copa America semifinals with his beloved Argentina, while Yamal is set to play for Spain in the Euro 2024 quarterfinals against Germany.
The pictures show Messi helping bathe the baby alongside Yamal’s parents. The authenticity of the photos were confirmed by the youngster’s father on social media, while Diario SPORT has given light to how this meeting even came to be.
