How did Messi end up in a photo bathing baby Yamal? - BBC Africa

This photo went viral when Lamine Yamal helped Spain win Euro 2024 and his father posted one of them online with the message: "The beginning of two legends". It was taken in 2007 when Lamine Yamal's family had won a competition to be part of the shoot. We spoke to Joan Monfort, the photographer behind it. Lamine Yamal's family had won a competition to be there. Lamine Yamal is their eldest child, and shortly after he was born, they entered a raffle run by Catalan newspaper Sport in conjunction with Barcelona shirt sponsor and international children's charity Unicef. Those selected at random would have professional photos taken of their baby with a Barcelona first-team player. Lamine Yamal was among the winners, and on the day the family arrived, they were paired with Messi by chance.
