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.

The Reflecting Pool is a perfect metaphor for the Trump administration:
- Ignore experts and science
- Overspend
- Declare early, historic victory
- "THE LEFT HATE THIS"
- Ends in total failure
- Unfounded conspiracies about sabotage
- MAGA pretends it doesn't actually matter
On this day 20 years ago, the Fate/Stay Night episode ‘Holy Grail’ aired, featuring the now-iconic ‘people die if they are killed’ subtitle mistranslation.
My dad retired at 59
I will not
He had a pension. I have a 401k I can barely fund.
He bought his house at 28.
I can't touch a down payment at 30.
He paid $90 a month for health insurance. I pay $430.
At dinner he told me I need to be smarter with money.
I nodded.
Didn't tell him his entire life was built on an economy that no longer exists.
Didn't tell him my generation is paying for his Social Security while ours gets gutted.
Didn't tell him the ladder he climbed got pulled up right after him.
Just passed the potatoes.
Make it make sense
Game Vergil would actually kill this dude for calling their mom weak.
His entire pursuit of power, quite literally stems from his childhood desire to be protected by his mother who never reached him before she was killed. The MAIN factor for his lust for strength is a deep desire to never allow something like his mothers death to happen again.
V spills his guts to Trish because she is a physical copy of her and he desperately tries to save her.
These straight up aren't even Dante, Vergil and Lady anymore, these aren't the same characters at all.

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.
We have a guy at my firm. Let’s call him David. David is a senior manager, always the first to crack a joke, buys the team lunch on Fridays, and dresses impeccably. A true "stand-up guy" who seems to have his entire life figured out.
But nobody knew that for the past 8 months, David has been going home to a completely empty 1-bedroom apartment, sleeping on a single mattress on the floor. His colleagues just assume his family relocated abroad. The truth? Family court stripped him of everything.
He spent 12 years breaking his back to build a beautiful home for his wife and two daughters. When the marriage crashed, the court ordered him out to "maintain stability for the kids." He left with just a suitcase. Now, he pays the rent for that big house, plus their school fees, while struggling to feed himself.
But the money isn't even the worst part. It’s the crippling silence. David went from waking up to his daughters jumping on his bed every morning, to having to negotiate with his ex for a 5-minute WhatsApp video call. He was legally demoted to an "every other weekend" uncle.
Men are carrying mountains of grief and hiding it behind office banter and hanging out with the boys. David sits at the lounge with the guys after work, laughing and buying drinks. But when he drives home, he sits in his parked car for an hour in the dark just to cry before facing his empty apartment.
Society has convinced us that a man's heartbreak over losing his family isn't valid. We expect them to lose their homes, their daily access to their kids, and their peace of mind, and just show up to work on Monday in a suit like nothing happened.
Check on your strong male friends. The system is breaking them in half, and they are bleeding out in absolute silence.
