Photos of a young Lionel Messi holding and bathing a then six-month-old Lamine Yamal during a 2007 UNICEF charity photoshoot have gone viral after Yamal's recent success at Euro 2024. Yamal, who has become the youngest ever scorer at the Euros, fired Spain into the final with a stunning goal against France. The photos were part of a charity calendar, and Yamal's family won a raffle to participate. The shoot, taken by photographer Joan Monfort, showcased an introverted Messi interacting with baby Yamal in the Barcelona dressing room. Fans have dubbed the images as the ‘beginning of two legends’, reflecting on the coincidental meeting of two future football stars.
