🚨Lamine Yamal on Lionel Messi after Spain’s FIFA World Cup triumph over Argentina. 🗣️ Lamine Yamal: “It’s difficult to describe what I’m feeling. When I was a baby, Lionel Messi bathed me and took a picture with me. Today, after a World Cup final, I beat him and took another picture with him. Life writes stories that nobody could ever imagine. “Lionel Messi is a player I’ve admired for as long as I can remember. I grew up watching him, learning from him and dreaming of becoming even a fraction of the player he is. “Seeing him lead Argentina all the way to another World Cup final at his age is incredible. If this was his last World Cup, then I know returning home without the trophy will hurt him. As someone who respects him so much, that isn’t easy to see. “But once the whistle blew, we were opponents. I couldn’t give him the trophy. My responsibility was to fight for Spain and help my country become world champions. “What I can do is make sure the world never forgets what he has done for football. His legacy doesn’t depend on one final. It was built over two decades of greatness. “He opened the door for so many young players from La Masia. Players like me, Pau Cubarsí and so many others grew up believing anything was possible because we watched Messi do the impossible every single week. “For millions of children playing football in the streets, Messi wasn’t just a footballer—he was the reason they fell in love with the game. He inspired an entire generation to dream bigger. “I’ll always treasure the photograph from when I was a baby, but this new picture means something special too. It reminds me that dreams come true, that generations change, and that football always moves forward while respecting the legends who built it. “Today I celebrate with Spain, but my respect for Lionel Messi will never change. He leaves this World Cup as one of the greatest players the game has ever seen, and nothing that happened tonight can ever take that away from him.”#lamineyamal #messi #Soccer #fifaworldcup #worldcup2026 in another life Leo💔 || NO COPYRIGHT INTENDED || || World cup final || Argentina vs Spain || Messi losing today || Argentina losing today || Messi crying today - @isaboy011
