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.

💎 Either Lamine Yamal wins a World Cup at just 19 years old, along with Pedri, Cubarsi
OR
👑 Messi goes back-to-back and wins his 2nd World Cup trophy, cementing his international legacy
One of these two things will happen.
Let’s just say though: you can park whatever bus you want, the number of unbelievable passes and crosses that Messi was playing to force the win… He is still the best creator in the world at 39 years old. Which is absolutely ridiculous.
🚨🇦🇷 Lionel Messi vs England... 🪄
• 9 dribbles complete (most in match)
• 7 touches in opposition box (most in match)
• 6 passes into final third
• 4 chances created (most in match)
• 2 recoveries
• 2 assists
39-years-old. 👑
Messi bathed Yamal when he was a baby, they were finally scheduled to meet in the finalissma and they cancelled it & now they finally meet at 19 and 39 years of age in the World Cup final.
I swear not even Shakespeare himself could’ve written this script.
Man for man there's nothing to fear from Argentina. Most of their players are past their best or playing at ok teams. England have star players at the best teams in the world. Our biggest issue is letting history and reputation drag us down. Confident and we win
