Striker Lamine Yamal’s father shared photos of the 16-year-old star with striker Lionel Messi when he was a child.

Photos of striker Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal taken 17 years ago were shared by his father on social media with the caption: “The beginning of two legends”. The viral photo received millions of interactions from fans. The content of the photo is that Barca legend Messi at the age of 21 is bathing Yamal, who was then 6 months old.

Many fans have left positive comments about Yamal “inheriting” and promoting what Messi did at Barca. He also debuted for Barca’s first team when he was just under 16 years old.

In addition to the photo shared by his father, Yamal also had the opportunity to share a frame with M10 at two different times. One was a photo in 2017 when Yamal was around 10 years old. He took the opportunity to have a photo with his idol and the funny thing is that the 16-year-old striker was wearing a Tottenham Hotspur kit.

Yamal continues to show his admiration for Lionel Messi and this time he was also lucky enough to be in the same frame with Luis Suarez, “El Pulga’s” teammate and close friend at Barca.

Lamine Yamal is known as the “youngster” of Spanish football . The striker’s performance in Barca’s shirt also reminds fans of Messi as he is also left-footed and has the same skillful dribbling as his idol.

The 16-year-old star has just entered the Euro 2024 semi-finals after Spain defeated Germany with a score of 2-1. Lamine Yamal also left an impression when he had breakthrough dribbles and had 3 assists for his teammates. Yamal will have the opportunity to become the youngest player in history to score in this year’s Euro in the semi-final match against France.
