4. Messi and Yamal on photo shoot
VOICEOVER:
Almost 17 years ago, legendary soccer player Lionel Messi posed for pictures with a small baby who was visiting a Barcelona locker room as part of charity calendar photo shoot.
Who could have guessed that 16 years later, that baby would grow up to be Lamine Yamal – the youngest male goal scorer in European Championship history.
The photo from 2007 recently resurfaced after Yamal’s father posted it on his Instagram with a caption reading "The beginning of two legends".
STORYLINE:
When Joan Monfort took photos of Lionel Messi with a baby for a charity calendar almost 17 years ago, he knew the long-haired young man would make it big in soccer.
He could not have imagined the little boy would as well.
The baby in the photos — which have gone viral — was none other than Lamine Yamal, the Spanish wunderkind, who at 16 is showing such promise that he’s already being compared to the greats.
The youngest to have played for Spain, he became the youngest player ever in the ongoing European Championship in Germany.
One of the long-forgotten photos from 2007 resurfaced after Yamal’s father posted it on Instagram last week with the text “the beginning of two legends.”
Monfort, 56, who works as a freelance photographer for The Associated Press and others, said the photo shoot took place in the visitors’ locker room at Barcelona’s Camp Nou in the autumn of 2007, when Yamal was just a few months old.
