¡LA HISTORIA MÁS TRISTE DE ESTE MUNDIAL! 💔
N’Golo Kanté le dice adiós a la Copa del Mundo sin haber disputado ni un solo minuto.
El campeón del mundo fue convocado, pero Didier Deschamps decidió no darle participación en todo el torneo. Ni siquiera en el partido por el tercer puesto, donde muchos esperaban verlo despedirse dentro del campo.
Así termina el último Mundial de uno de los futbolistas más queridos y humildes de su generación. Gracias por todo, N’Golo Kanté 🇫🇷👏
Lamine Yamal's grandmother snuck onto a bus from Morocco and worked three shifts so her son could join her in Spain. That son became a father as a teenager. That baby is now in the World Cup final.
His parents split when he was 3. He grew up shuttling between two towns: Mataró with his dad, in the Rocafonda neighborhood where half the residents live below the poverty line, and Granollers with his mom, who worked such long hours as a waitress that he has spoken about how little of his childhood they actually spent together. The apartment he describes here, kitchen and bedroom in one room, is what two very young parents working every shift they could find were able to give him.
Then football took the rest of his childhood. Barcelona scouted him at 6. La Masia at 7. First team at 15, the youngest debutant the club had fielded since 1922. While other kids were in school hallways, he was carrying the hopes of a 125-year-old institution.
The family has paid for the fame too. In August 2024, weeks after he won the Euros at 17, his father was stabbed multiple times in a Mataró parking lot. He later said he saw himself between life and death.
So when Yamal talks about happiness, he skips the €16.6M salary, the €1 billion release clause, the number 10 shirt. He talks about his mom smiling in the stands and his 3-year-old brother Keyne, the kid the cameras keep finding at this World Cup doing the siu after matches.
Three generations traded away their childhoods to get here. He's using all of it to make sure the fourth one doesn't have to.
Lamine Yamal sobre felicidad "Yo vengo de un apartamento donde la cocina y el dormitorio eran el mismo espacio. Veo a mi madre feliz, veo que mi hermano puede tener la infancia que me hubiera gustado tener, y eso es lo que más me hace feliz."
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.
