Lamine Yamal on Lionel Messi after Spain’s FIFA World Cup triumph over Argentina.
🗣️ Lamine Yamal: “Tonight I lifted the World Cup for Spain, but I also experienced something I’ll tell my children one day. The man who once held me as a baby was standing on the other side of the pitch, fighting for the same dream. Football has a beautiful way of bringing stories full circle.”
“When I looked at Messi after the final whistle, I didn’t just see an opponent. I saw the player who made millions of kids, including me, believe football could be art. I saw the man whose videos I watched over and over, trying to copy things that nobody else could do.”
“I know this defeat will hurt him. You don’t play with that much passion, carry your country again and again, and lose a World Cup final without feeling pain. Even in defeat, he kept demanding the ball, creating chances and refusing to stop believing. That’s what champions do.”
“People will talk about Spain winning this World Cup, and they should. But they’ll also remember that, at an age when most legends have already retired, Messi was still making the world’s best defenders panic every time he touched the ball. That’s extraordinary.”
“The photo of Messi bathing me became one of football’s most iconic images. Today we took another picture together, but this time I could thank him face to face. Without players like him, kids like me wouldn’t dare dream this big.”
“One day another generation will replace mine too. That’s football. But there will never be another Lionel Messi. Records can be broken and trophies can be won, but inspiring an entire generation to fall in love with the game is something only a few people in history will ever achieve.”
“Tonight belongs to Spain. Tomorrow, the debates will continue. But my respect for Lionel Messi will never change. He didn’t need to win this final to prove who he is. For me, he’ll always be one of the greatest players football has ever seen, and sharing the pitch with him was a privilege I’ll carry for the rest of my life.”
पेपर लीक से करोड़ों युवाओं का भविष्य तबाह हो रहा है। इसके ज़िम्मेदार शिक्षा मंत्री धर्मेंद्र प्रधान के इस्तीफे के लिए सोनम वांगचुक जी और छात्र 16 दिनों से भूख हड़ताल पर हैं। हम युवाओं के हक की इस लड़ाई में उनके साथ खड़े हैं। भाजपा की इस तानाशाह सरकार को झुकना ही होगा।
1800 new volunteers joined AAP today in Goa and took oath in an induction ceremony to work towards throwing out BJP govt and forming AAP govt. Perhaps the biggest expansion of AAP in Goa so far.
I strongly condemn the attack on CJP founder Abhijeet Dipke. Even if u don’t agree wid Dipke, it does not give u license to attack him. We all know which party do the attackers belong to and thats why, no action will be taken against them.

क्या देश की राजधानी ऐसी होनी चाहिए?
दिल्ली में देश-विदेश से लोग आते हैं। सोचिए, जब वे राजधानी का ऐसा हाल देखते होंगे, तो देश की कितनी बेइज्जती होती होगी?
गलियों में सीवर ओवरफ्लो हो रहे हैं, सड़कों के किनारे गंदगी ही गंदगी है और अस्पतालों-स्कूलों के सामने कूड़े के ढेर लगे हैं.. इन लोगों ने 1 साल में दिल्ली का ऐसा हाल कर दिया है, तो 5 साल में क्या करेंगे?
Dear Sandeep @SandeepPathak04
I was listening to your press conference today. Among the three options, if there is no way you can continue working with AAP, you could have left AAP and resigned from your MP post. Joining the BJP is not just gaddari to Arvind Kejriwal who trusted in you and other AAPians who believed in you; it is gaddari to 1.4 billion Indians.
Others may have reasons to bend under pressure, but you do not have any reason to bend to any pressure. You should never be seen as a gaddaar in the eyes of your daughter. Joining BJP is an insult to every single day of your life so far, which you have led with relentless hard work, facing hurdles at each step.
As you yourself said, there are many other ways of nation-building. Let us work on those options. Please do not go to BJP. This country needs more people like you to fight for restoring the normal functioning of institutions.
It is okay to not know the art of politics. It is okay to not always have common sense. Our education has taught us humility - to accept our failures and to accept what we do not know. But doing gaddari is not at all a solution to this.
If you cannot stand internal politics within AAP, imagine - you may not be able to sustain even one day in BJP. They will swallow you in no time. We are just ordinary people (read that 100 times). It is okay to lose 10 years of your life fighting for a rightful reason and not succeed. But please do not go to BJP. It has only been a few hours since you joined, and 1.4 billion people are counting on you.
This was the donation I made to AAP Chhattisgarh last May after knowing that Sandeep was the Chhattisgarh Prabhari. I do not have visibility into what is happening on the ground, but I could sense that something was off. Sandeep was someone I truly looked up to.
In many ways, I saw myself in him - an educated person who genuinely wanted to bring change in the system, who sacrificed his career and worked very hard during the Punjab elections. I know I wanted to be like that one day, but I am still not sure if I can move back to India due to my own constraints. So I wanted him to succeed in his goal of bringing REAL CHANGE on the ground (after learning from his past lessons).
That is why I made this donation. I could not post it then, as I felt he may not have been comfortable with it at that time. I am posting it today along with the original message I had shared with a few leaders internally while sending this donation certificate to them.
I took reference of Manoj’s Daadi in 12th Fail movie. We all knew that the hard-earned life savings of Manoj's Daadi were stolen. But Manoj did not turn into a traitor in his Daadi’s eyes.
I am hoping for a miracle in this real-life story too, even as I watch these dramatic events unfold today 🙏

This is the original message I shared with AAP leaders last year 👇
An ordinary middle-class girl from a small town in Andhra Pradesh, is donating her hard earned money to Aam Aadmi Party Chhattisgarh unit today, because she believes in the power of opportunity as she has lived what opportunity can do.
In India, the arc of our lives is too often written before we can even dream - by our birth, our gender, our caste, our class. I happened to be lucky, being born into a middle-class family that valued education, I was given that one opportunity that can break all barriers - learning. That education led me to a job, to independence, to a voice - and today, that voice says- 'every child deserves the same shot at life, no matter where they are born'
AAP is the only political force that hasn’t just talked about education - it has transformed it. In Delhi, 18 lakh government school children have been given dignity, hope, and opportunity through education that matches private schools. They weren’t chosen for their privilege or wealth - AAP chose to believe in them. Just them.
That’s why, just like Manoj’s Dadi in 12th Fail movie, who gave him her life long savings so he could chase his dreams of becoming an honest officer and serve the country, today I am contributing to AAP for its mission in Chhattisgarh. I dream of a day when New York Times headlines speak of government school children from Chhattisgarh rising to global heights - because someone dared to believe in them. Because AAP will dare to change their future.
And why to AAP Chhattisgarh ? Because, this same education has made a huge difference in one man’s life who now sacrificed his career to be part of AAP in order to bring BADLAAV in this country and is currently prabhari of Chhattisgarh. He is a huge inspiration to me and I am contributing my hard earned money, because I have complete trust in his integrity, and he will start a powerful movement in Chhattisgarh.
Now is the time to build something strong, rooted, and visionary in Chhattisgarh. This is why I hope my donation fuels the upcoming local body elections in CG - the stepping stones for solid support base to form for AAP
I choose to fight for the future of our nation alongside Arvind Kejriwal. 🇮🇳
My choice is AAP.
