2007: Messi, 20, bathes a five-month-old baby for a Barça charity shoot.
The baby is Lamine Yamal.
He turned 19 on Monday.
Sunday he plays Messi in a World Cup final.
2016: Messi quits Argentina.
A 15-year-old at River Plate youth writes him a letter. Nobody knows who the kid is.
It doesn't say "we need you."
It says "we don't deserve you. Stay to have fun. That's what we took from you."
2026, 85th minute: that kid scores the equaliser.
Enzo Fernández.
