Story: UNICEF had a charity calendar photoshoot at FC Barcelona every year. Lamine Yamal was a couple of months old here living locally with his parents, both immigrants from different African countries. Yamal's family happened to be paired with Messi for the photoshoot. Up to last week even the photographer didn't know that it's Yamal in the photo he took

Lamine Yamal, now at the age of 16 (turns 17 this weekend) is now a Barcelona wunderkind and a Spain international. He's the youngest player at the 2024 European Championships where just 20mins ago he scored a world class goal from distance against France in the semi final

Touched by Messi.

Edit: Wait. No. Phrasing.
