The father of Barcelona and Spain star Lamine Yamal published a photo of his son as a child and in the bathtub, with football legend Lionel Messi.
According to “Sport” newspaper, the photo is real, and the one who was sitting in the bathtub is Yamal, and it revealed the secret behind the photo, which is more than 16 years old.
At that time, Yamal was only 6 months old, while the newspaper “Sport” was organizing a charity campaign led by Barcelona players.
Because of this charitable campaign, Messi met Yamal when he was a baby and took this photo, which his father, Mounir Nasraoui, kept until he decided to publish it now.
Coincidentally, many see 16-year-old Yamal as the “new Messi” after his amazing performances with Barcelona and most recently with Spain in Euro 2024.
It is noteworthy that Yamal, who has Moroccan origins, previously stressed that Messi is his role model in football, and that he is the greatest of all time in the world of football.
