Messi Calls Facing Yamal 'Crazy' Ahead of Final
Ahead of the World Cup final, Lionel Messi expressed that it is "crazy" to confront Lamin Yamal, who is making headlines for his remarkable achievements. Yamal, a 20-year-old player, made his debut for Barcelona at the age of 15 and inherited Messi's iconic number 10 shirt.
Messi, who is currently 39 years old, reflected on Yamal's accomplishments, including becoming the youngest player to win both the European Championship and the World Cup at the age of 19. During a press conference in New York, Messi also mentioned a photograph from 2007, where he held a five-month-old baby during a charity photoshoot, which was called prophetic by NFL legend Tom Brady.
Messi wished Yamal luck and success, highlighting the significance of Yamal's contributions to Barcelona and the Spanish national team.
