A photo of Messi bathing a 5-month-old baby named Lamine Yamal has gone viral on social media. According to Spanish media, this photo is completely real.
In recent days, on social networks, many fans have spread a picture of Lionel Messi bathing the child prodigy Lamine Yamal (when he was 5 months old). Many people are interested in this picture. However, many people are skeptical about whether the boy in the picture is Lamine Yamal or not.
Diario Sport confirmed the authenticity of this photo. Accordingly, the photo was part of a charity calendar in 2007 with the participation of Diario Sport, the Barcelona charity and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
UNICEF recently sent this precious photo to the families of the participants (including Lamine Yamal’s family). The 16-year-old player’s father posted the photo on social media, along with the caption: “The beginning of two legends”.
Diario Sport emphasized: “It is a series of charity calendar photos that Diario Sport collaborated with FC Barcelona and UNICEF for the annual charity campaign. The person who took this photo was reporter Joan Monfort.”
According to a Barcelona-based newspaper, UNICEF conducted a selection process over several months to select the children who would appear in the calendar. The children were mainly from the Rocafonda neighborhood in Catalonia. Finally, they drew lots to find the luckiest child to be photographed with Lionel Messi. The Lamine Yamal family was chosen.
At that time, Barcelona’s media department also decided to choose young player Lionel Messi, instead of famous seniors like Ronaldinho, Deco or Samuel Eto’o.
This precious photo could have been forgotten if “baby” Lamine Yamal had not risen to shine at Euro 2024. At the age of 16, this prodigy has become a mainstay of FC Barcelona and Spain. Lamine Yamal is facing the opportunity to help the Bulls win the Euro for the first time since 2012. If he does this, he will become the youngest player in history to win this tournament.
In the Euro 2024 semi-finals, Spain will face France at 02:00 on July 10. It is likely that Lamine Yamal will continue to be used after playing impressively in this tournament.
