On the evening of July 5th, the quarterfinal match between Germany and Spain in the UEFA Euro Cup is about to kick off. Ahead of the game, a fan on the internet dug up a photo from 16 years ago, showing Messi holding baby Yarmal at a charity event, leaving fans amazed by this serendipitous connection.
The picture was taken during a charity event in November 2007, when Yarmal had just been born, only a few months old. The 21-year-old Messi was seen taking care of him in a bathtub.
As the Spain vs Germany match approaches, these photos have gone viral online. One fan commented, “Messi shared some of his strength with Yarmal, which is why he’s stronger than most wingers at 16.” Another wrote, “Greatness touched an infant, and thus the infant embarked on the path to greatness.” “Yarmal received the blessing of the GOAT Messi, that explains it,” someone else added.
Some fans simply marveled, “This is beautiful, this is football, this is history.”
