Spain's young star Lamine Yamal and Argentine legend Lionel Messi will face off in the final match to be played on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. This match will once again reveal how the destinies of the two figures have crossed since that iconic photo taken approximately 19 years ago in 2007 for a charity calendar, where Messi was bathing baby Yamal.
Messi, who was only 20 years old at the time, held an 8-month-old baby in his arms during the UNICEF-supported social responsibility project featuring Barcelona players. The photographer who took the picture, Joan Monfort, did not know who the baby was for years; this coincidence only emerged in 2024 when Yamal's father made a post.
While Yamal describes playing against his childhood idol as a dream, Messi aims to cap off his career with a World Cup. The 39-year-old legend and the 19-year-old new-generation talent pursuing his first major trophy will now stand at opposite ends of the same stage as rivals.
