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.

Nigeria is a crime scene.
🚨🗣️ Youri Tielemans: “I think he [Jonny Evans] SPOKE with the manager about me, my character and my personality.
“He's been a BIG influence and I've always kept in touch with Johnny. He's such a GREAT guy.” #MUFC [MU]
🚨🗣️ 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Jürgen Klopp on Tuchel's performance against Argentina:
"People always speak after the game like coaching is easy. Like you just choose attack or defend’and that’s it. It doesn’t work like this. Football is much more complex.
"I see the criticism of Tuchel for trying to defend the 1-0 against, but let me tell you something: if he didn’t do that, if he kept pushing forward and they conceded the same people would be saying, ‘Why didn’t he control the game? Why didn’t he defend the lead?’
"In knockout football, whatever decision you make, someone will criticise you. I��m not saying every decision is perfect, but you have to understand the logic behind it.
"Managing a game at that stage is never simple."
🚨 Rio Ferdinand on Michael Carrick giving Marcus Rashford another chance at Manchester United:
🗣️ Reporter:
“INEOS were prepared to move Rashford on. Why has Carrick kept the door open?”
🗣️ Rio:
“Because Michael remembers the player before everyone started discussing the problem. Rashford told him he wanted the chance to work under him. Michael told INEOS,‘Give me the boy who lit up the Stretford End and let me see if he’s still in there.’
INEOS told him, ‘Fine. But if this doesn’t work… that’s on you.’ Michael accepted it. That’s how much he believes in Marcus. Carrick hasn’t asked Marcus to repay him with words. He’s asked him to repay him with football. And if there’s one person Marcus probably won’t want to let down… it’s Michael Carrick.
So if Rashford suddenly starts looking like the world class player we once knew, don’t call it a miracle. Just remember who was willing to stake his own reputation on him.”
🚨🗣️ Youri Tielemans on working with Carrick: “I'm very happy, looking forward to it, and obviously him being a midfielder, he can give me a lot of TIPS and I can learn from him inside his structure.
“When I faced him? Yeah, I saw that picture yesterday. It was actually really funny when we talked to each other and we saw that picture. Yeah, it was good times, and hopefully better times now.” #MUFC [MU]
Sometimes you gotta remind people:
I was solid before you showed up, already blessed, already grinding. You added to the vibe, but you were never the reason for it.
