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.

“In England they love to speak before. We send him a big hug… I hope I’ll not be like him when I retire, I will NOT criticise players”, told @DSports.
Giuliano Simeone, emotional talking about Messi:
"Leo is 39 years old, he has everything a footballer could dream of and is still fighting like as the best. So for us, there’s only one thing left, give everything we have, run for him and for Argentina."

"I couldn't imagine myself at another European club that wasn't Barça."
