Sheila Ebana, Lamine Yamal’s mother, speaks ahead of Spain’s World Cup final against Lionel Messi’s Argentina.
🗣️ “As the final gets closer, my emotions become stronger every day. People keep showing me that famous photograph of Lionel Messi bathing Lamine when he was just six months old, and every time I see it, I smile. None of us could have imagined that years later they would meet in a FIFA World Cup final.”
“To me, it’s more than a picture. It’s the story of a little boy who grew up admiring one of the greatest footballers in history and is now preparing to face him on the biggest stage of them all. As a mother, it’s impossible not to feel emotional.”
“I’ve watched Messi throughout this tournament, and honestly, what he’s doing at 39 years old is incredible. He’s still leading Argentina, still deciding matches and still making the impossible look easy. There is a reason the whole football world respects him.”
“But tomorrow, Messi isn’t Lamine’s idol he’s Spain’s biggest obstacle. My son has admired him all his life, but dreams don’t stop when the whistle blows. Sometimes you have to challenge the people who inspired you.”
“I told Lamine to enjoy every second because very few players ever get the chance to face the greatest on the biggest stage. Respect him, learn from him, but don’t fear him. If you’re in a World Cup final, it’s because you belong there too.”
“Whatever happens, I know football will witness something beautiful. The little baby once held by Lionel Messi will now stand across from him with a World Cup on the line. As his mother, I couldn’t be prouder.”
All these talks on Lamine Yamal not deserving Ballon d’Or if Spain wins the World Cup.
I won’t participate in it. Let him win it first and you’ll go and take the Ballon d’Or from him 😂😂.
He will sweep it like crazy
Ronaldo Nazário on whether Lionel Messi should win the Ballon d’Or if Argentina win the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
🗣️ “Without hesitation yes. I don’t care whether he plays in Europe, South America or on the moon. The Ballon d’Or should reward the best footballer, not the league where he plays.”
“People keep saying, ‘He doesn’t play in Europe anymore.’ So what? Tell me who has been better than Lionel Messi at this World Cup. At 39 years old, he’s still dominating the biggest stage in football, deciding knockout matches and carrying Argentina to another World Cup final. That speaks louder than any domestic league.”
“If he lifts the World Cup again after everything he’s done in this tournament, I honestly don’t see how anyone else deserves the Ballon d’Or ahead of him. Football cannot ignore greatness simply because of geography.”
“The World Cup is the highest level of football. The pressure is greater than the Champions League, greater than any domestic title. Every player dreams of shining here, and Messi is once again proving why he’s different.”
“Against England, when Argentina were on the verge of elimination, who changed the game? Messi. Two extraordinary assists, complete control under pressure and another reminder that the biggest moments always belong to the biggest players.”
“The Ballon d’Or is becoming too focused on debates about leagues, statistics and narratives. Sometimes the answer is right in front of you. Watch the football. Watch the impact. Watch who decides the biggest games.”
“If Lionel Messi wins another World Cup at 39 years old after leading Argentina the way he has in this tournament, then there shouldn’t even be a debate. Give him the Ballon d’Or. If football can’t reward a player for doing something this extraordinary, then we’ve forgotten what the Ballon d’Or is supposed to represent.”

🚨𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗘𝗥𝗥𝗬 𝗛𝗘𝗡𝗥𝗬:
🗣️ “Barcelona and La Masia run football in general at the FIFA World Cup. The star players from both teams belong to the greatest academy in the world, La Masia.”
🗣️ “Football revolves around Barcelona. I am proud that once I was part of that great club and ecosystem.”
🗣️🚨 @arevalo_martin: "Aymeric Laporte's statements went down very badly within the Argentina National Team.
"Inside here, they believe that the referee is being pressured and conditioned and this shouldn't be done."
"The president of UEFA has the same nationality as the referee of the match and what they obviously start to see is...can you imagine if someone from the Argentine delegation had said the same thing?"
I never realized how poor France’s midfield was until they played Spain. Their attack had been masking all of their midfield issues.
Spain exposed them, and now England are doing the exact same thing. What an overrated team
