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.

Y después de la épica remontada de Argentina ante Inglaterra en la semifinal de la Copa del Mundo, Lionel Messi se alejó un poco de las celebraciones y se dio el tiempo para abrazar y consolar a Harry Kane.
La rivalidad con Inglaterra se notó como nunca, pero todo se quedó en la cancha. Y el capitán de Argentina simplemente quiso reconocer la grandeza del capitán de Inglaterra. Hermosa secuencia.
GRANDEZA, CLASE Y SEÑORÍO.
You can’t convince me life is just a series of coincidences. What do you mean Lionel Messi was randomly paired with a five-month-old baby after the baby’s family won a UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot while Messi played for Barcelona… and that baby grew up to be Lamine Yamal?
Lamine would go on to become one of the brightest young stars in soccer, wear the same No. 19 Messi wore for the same team when that photo was taken, and now, nearly two decades later, could face Messi in a World Cup Final???????
@ADewantara@mouseanonyodni@idextratime Salah input pada bagan aja, tapi penjelasan di videonya bener kok. Menit 8:40 dia bilang Paraguay yg jadi lawan France
