Yamal, son of immigrants (Moroccan dad + Equatorial Guinean mom) growing up in a working class Mataró neighborhood, enters a UNICEF raffle with hundreds of local families competing for a spot.
He wins.
Then, among ~20-25 Barca players in the 2007 calendar shoot, he was randomly paired with a young Messi.
Rough odds?
•~1 in 300+ for winning the family raffle.
•Then ~1 in 20-25 for the random player draw.
Combined: roughly 1 in 6,000–7,500 chance this exact pairing happens.
Yet here we are in 2026, they are meeting to compete for the biggest trophy in football . Destiny doesn’t miss.
Walahi, nothing is random in this universe.
‘The Arabs in old times used to say. Four things separate brothers: wealth, women, jealousy, and death. Four things make you lose your value among people: talking too much, laughing too much, lying and gossiping. Four things by which a wife ruins her home: stubbornness, anger, suspicion, and raising her voice. Four things by which a man ruins his home: distance, neglect, harshness, and stinginess.’
Ronaldo fans at 78': Yes. He's not coming back. Africa is the best and would be the end of Messi. Egypt is just making a joke of them.
Ronaldo fans at FT: This is pure rigging. FIFA has robbed the game for Messi. Rubbish tournament.

Elon Musk is proof that bad days do not define great destinies.
He is proof that setbacks are not the end of the road, but part of the journey.
He is proof that no matter how many times life knocks you down, you can rise again and keep moving forward.
He is proof that today's failures can become tomorrow's victories.
So don't quit.
Don't let a difficult season make you abandon a lifelong dream.
Keep going. Keep building. Keep believing.
Every sunrise is another opportunity to get it right.
The people we admire today are not those who never failed but they are those who refused to give up.
Winners are not the people who never fall.
Winners are the people who get up one more time.
