احتفال لاعبي المنتخب الإسباني كان بارد مثل الثلج كان في عز الحر وتحت الشمس حسّيته كأنه احتفال دوري عادي مو أبطال العالم. أما الأرجنتين فكان الاحتفال شيء ثاني حتى توقيت المباراة بالليل كان أحلى والملعب وتصميمه كانوا أجمل. فعلًا كان احتفال يليق بكأس العالم.
Yesterday, an image of Messi supposedly stepping on Spence’s foot before Argentina’s 2nd goal went viral. People were claiming Messi should’ve been sent off, the goal should’ve been disallowed, that FIFA protects him—you know, the usual.
So what happened next?
Archivo VAR responded to the image:
“Argentina’s 2nd goal is unquestionably valid. Whoever edited the image to make Lionel Messi’s foot appear closer to Spence’s accidentally changed the England player’s shirt number from 25 to 23.”
Ronaldo fans’ final attempt to discredit Messi collapsed thanks to a terrible Photoshop job.
Yes, those photos you’ve seen are real.
More than 18 years ago, a baby named Lamine Yamal and his mom Sheila met Lionel Messi at a UNICEF fundraising photoshoot.
Today, their achievements on the pitch inspire millions. Off the pitch, both Messi and Lamine Yamal use their voices and platforms as UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors to support and advocate for children around the world.
The goal? That every child survives, thrives, and fulfils their potential.
We are proud to have them on our team.

मेसी लेफ्ट फुटेड प्लेयर है, इंग्लैंड के डिफेंडर्स का मूवमेंट लेफ्ट फुट से क्रॉस ब्लॉक करने के हिसाब से था। राइट फुट से ऐसा असिस्ट कर दिया मेसी ने जैसे कम्यूटर से सेट की हो बॉल की ट्रेजैक्ट्री,इतने डिफेंडर्स के बीच से सीधे लौटारो के सिर पर। अद्भुत।
In December 2007, a Barcelona newspaper ran a charity raffle to pick a local baby for a UNICEF calendar shoot.
The winning family brought their 5-month-old son.
The 20-year-old Barca player assigned to bathe him was Lionel Messi.
The baby was Lamine Yamal.
Nobody thought about the photo for 15 years.
Then the baby debuted for Barcelona at 15. Won the Euros at 16 while still doing homework. Took over Messi's number 10 shirt.
On Sunday they meet in the World Cup Final.
Messi is 39. It's likely his last one.
Yamal turned 19 two days ago. It's his first.
The baby Messi held in his hands is now trying to take the trophy out of them.
🚨 “I Think I Woke Something Up in Him” -Bellingham Admits Mistake vs Messi
🎙️Reporter: Jude, you were leading until around the 80th minute and then lost it before full time… that must really hurt?
Jude🗣️: Yeah… it hurts a lot. Honestly, it’s one of those feelings you don’t forget. We were in control for so long, and to see it slip away like that so late… it’s painful. I really wanted to win this — we all did. But at the same time, we gave everything. No one left anything out there.
🎙️Reporter: There was a moment between you and Lionel Messi during the game — it looked heated. What happened?
Jude🗣️: (laughs slightly) Yeah… I think that was probably my mistake, to be honest. I tried to get under his skin a bit, maybe distract him. At that point, everything was going our way, but I also know… as long as Messi is still on the pitch, the game is never finished.
So I thought maybe I could put him off a little. But yeah… I think I did the opposite. I think I woke something up in him.
🎙️Reporter: So no bad blood between you two?
Jude🗣️: No, not at all. He’s my idol, honestly. There’s nothing serious there. Emotions are high in a game like that, especially a semi-final.
And actually… after the final whistle, he came over to me and spoke to me, tried to console me. That meant a lot, because in my head I was thinking, ‘he probably hates me now’ (laughs). But that just shows the kind of person he is.
So yeah… nothing but respect for him.”
