i genuinely can't believe a hamstring injury that he picked up in a random ass game against CELTA VIGO is what might rob us of the youngest ballon dor winner in history lmao
🚨🚨| NEW: Lionel Messi was randomly chosen to give baby Lamine Yamal his bath during a Barcelona charity photoshoot in 2007.
The photographer behind the iconic photo recalled:
“If Lamine Yamal’s family had been able to choose who he would be paired with, they probably wouldn’t have picked Messi.
We organised the session in the visitors’ dressing room at Camp Nou on 31 October 2007.
That morning, I also photographed Lilian Thuram, Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho, Samuel Eto’o and Xavi. Messi wasn’t unknown, but he was still far from becoming the global icon he is today.”

We’re gonna find out in a few years that little things like this were leaked deliberately to generate action on polymarket, kalshi, and the betting apps. Not even a veneer of integrity to anything anymore
