percebendo que muita gente no mundo nunca leu O Outono da Idade Média e A Cultura do Renascimento na Itália que são basicamente os primeiros livros escritos no ocidente isso seria o mínimo pra uma pessoa alfabetizada
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.”
Não tem nenhuma explicação lógica que diga que é crível que uma promessa do Barcelona participe de uma ação da UNICEF com refugiados e faça um ensaio fotográfico com um bebê e, 19 anos depois, eles se encontrem em uma final de Copa do Mundo como astros do futebol.
If Argentina win tonight, the two people in this photo will face off in the World Cup Final 19 years later.
What are the odds that:
> Baby wins a raffle to get a pic with Messi
> Baby grows up to be a generational talent
> Baby becomes third youngest player to ever start a World Cup final
> Messi remains so great that he would be the oldest outfield player to ever start a final
> Both of their teams beat the odds of reaching a final in the same tournament
The odds of this happening are impossibly small.
And yet we're one game away.
The same year that photo was taken, Messi featured in an Adidas campaign about being too small to make it. The slogan:
"Impossible is Nothing."
