An amazing photo of Lionel Messi “blessing” a future soccer star who will star in Spain’s semi-final against France today at the Euros 2024 soccer tournament has gone viral.
Back then, Messi was 20 years old and while he was a very exciting talent, he was not yet the outstanding player of his generation or“Messi is a pretty introverted guy, he’s shy,” photographer Joan Monfort says of the awkward photo shoot in which he says Messi was unsure of how to interact with baby Yamal.
Fans joked that Yamal’s early encounter with Messi was a “blessing” and it is the reason why Lamal is so successful at such a young age.Just like Messi, Yamal trained at Barcelona’s famous La Masia youth academy. The similarities don’t end there: While Yamal will play in the semi-final of a major soccer tournament today so will Messi who is likely to play against Canada in the semi-final of the Copa America for Argentina this evening.
