      I heard this the other day and I had to look it up. I assume Yamal’s family must have been connections to professional football or something. Nope. They just lived near Barcelona where Messi was playing. Very random.

      Lamine was blessed by the football god himself and it shows from the way he is leading Spain into this world cup.

      I’ve known about this picture for quite a while but for some reason it just struck me now that Messi actually _bathed_ him. Bro had to wipe soap through some infant who happened to be the teenage footballer ever.

      Can someone fill me out on this. Why is messi bathing yamal. How did he even get there? What’s the reason?. Did the family know mess prior? Or is yamal’s family that rich to get him for a photoshoot?

      I did not read the caption correctly and kept wondering who the random baby was. That was there first “meet”. Why is he bathing that baby??

    10. Weird to hold a competition to let a Barcelona Player bathe your baby….. Wtf 🤣 why hold it and why enter it?
