Little did Messi know that Yamal would grow up to become Spain's youngest goalscorer in the Euros

Take a look at this photo of footballing legend Lionel Messi holding Spain's Lamine Yamal as a baby.

The photo was taken in 2007 in Camp Nou in Barcelona as part of a charity calendar photoshoot.

Sixteen-year-old Yamal (who followed in Messi's footsteps to play for Barcelona) scored an epic goal for Spain against France in the 2024 Euro semi-finals, making him the youngest ever goal scorer in the tournament.

Messi is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers of all time, so did a little Messi-magic rub off on Yamal as a baby?
