Lionel Messi, Lamine Yamal go full circle after viral baby photo

Argentina have booked their place in the World Cup final against Spain with their 2-1 win against England, setting up a clash between Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal.

Messi and Yamal will square off on the pitch for the first time at MetLife Stadium on Sunday. However, it’s not the first time they have met, as these two football stars had a wholesome encounter during a charity photoshoot 19 years ago, when Messi was a young rising star, and Yamal was still a baby.
