Lamine Yamal on facing Lionel Messi in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final.

🗣️ “It’s difficult to describe what I’m feeling. As a footballer, playing in a World Cup final is already the biggest dream imaginable. But facing Lionel Messi… the same man who held me as a baby and was part of that famous photo when I was just six months old… makes it even more unbelievable.”

“When I was growing up, I watched Messi every week. I studied everything he did. I copied his dribbles, his movements and the way he played with so much joy. Now I’m preparing to face him in the biggest match in football. Life works in incredible ways.”

“What he’s doing at 39 years old is something the football world may never witness again. Most legends retire long before this age. Messi is still deciding World Cup matches, creating goals, leading Argentina and proving he’s still the player everyone fears the most.”

“I watched him against England and honestly, it was frightening. Argentina were behind, the pressure was enormous, and then Messi completely changed the game with two magical assists. That’s what separates him from everyone else. When football becomes impossible, he somehow finds a solution.”

“For me, he’s still the best player in the world. Age hasn’t changed his football intelligence, his vision or his ability to decide the biggest games. If anything, he’s become even calmer and more dangerous.”

“This will be the first time I ever face him on a football pitch, and I couldn’t ask for a bigger stage than the World Cup final. I’ll respect him because he’s my idol, but once the whistle blows, I’ll give everything for my country.”

“The little boy who was once in Messi’s arms is now standing across from him in a World Cup final. That’s a story I’ll cherish forever but for ninety minutes, there are no idols. There are only two teams fighting to make history.”

@granTurism01 He was probably going to win it anyway but winning the World Cup would just cement it.

There was a 1 in 625 trillion chance this photo of Lionel Messi bathing baby Lamine Yamal would ever happen.

"Families entered a raffle, Barcelona players were assigned by random lottery, and somehow 20 year old Messi ended up pairing with this five month old baby, and that's Lamine Yamal right there."

"The probability of this happening says you are more than 2 million times more likely to win the Powerball Jackpot than to have this script play out. It is roughly equivalent to picking one specific second out of 20 million years, 1 in 625 trillion, insane."

@mrwtffacts I think on Sunday it will be the king is dead, long live the king!

[Lee Wadlow @Leewads]

@BBCMOTD Spot on tactically inept, shocking!

[Lee Wadlow @Leewads]

@SkyNews Why not? Surely this would help clear her name?

[Lee Wadlow @Leewads]

@viscavisions @WolfRMFC Some people just don’t understand football, Yamal is easily the best player on the planet.

[Lee Wadlow @Leewads]

@NickRTFM Anything other than Yamal would be a disaster as it’s not even close.

[Lee Wadlow @Leewads]

@DPJHodges Read the room and your replies Dan … you’re better than this…maybe take a break from social media for a while.

[Lee Wadlow @Leewads]

@MarouaneSi26233 @FAmmiranteTFJ Not 2 defenders maybe 3 or 4, I’ve never seen anything like it….what a player…best on the planet and still a teenager.

[Lee Wadlow @Leewads]

@mxdric Not true his influence is massive, when the opposition put 3 men on him just to try and stop him the space appears elsewhere.

[Lee Wadlow @Leewads]

@FabrizioRomano Lots of people really don’t understand football, when the opposition have to use 3 men against 1 player you become weaker elsewhere. It’s a win win for Spain.

[Lee Wadlow @Leewads]

@FabrizioRomano Correct putting 3 players on Yamal just to stop him is creating space elsewhere it’s a win win

[Lee Wadlow @Leewads]

@CFCMods I think they must be gutted to be in the QF having not conceded a goal 😃

[Lee Wadlow @Leewads]

@fpl_tactician 🤣🤣🤣

[Lee Wadlow @Leewads]

@mxdric Yamal taking up 3 players, leaving space for the others. If he plays like that for the rest of the tournament and Spain win it he will be a hero
