FIFA World Cup 2026 | The baby in the bathtub and the legend: Messi & Yamal’s 19-year journey to World Cup final

2 min readUpdated: Jul 16, 2026 02:08 PM IST The photograph was taken in a Barcelona dressing room in late 2007. A 20-year-old Lionel Messi, with a shy smile and a head of untamed curls, held a six-month-old baby in a blue plastic bathtub. Neither of them knew, in that fleeting moment, that the world would one day look back at the image and see the beginning of something extraordinary. Almost two decades later, that baby, Lamine Yamal, will face Messi in the FIFA World Cup 2026 final on Sunday in New Jersey, a generational showdown that feels scripted by football’s gods. Defending champion Argentina secured their place in the title clash with a 2-1 victory over England, setting up a meeting against Spain, the reigning European champions. It will be the first time Messi and Yamal have played against each other, but their story began long before either had kicked a ball on the world’s biggest stage. Spain, meanwhile, thrashed pre-event favourite France 2-0 in the semifinal courtesy of goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and …

And it appears the 18-year-old forward already has someone special cheering and praying for him as kickoff approaches. Yamal’s girlfriend cheers from the stand Yamal is reportedly dating Spanish influencer Inés García, who took to social media ahead of Spain’s quarterfinal against Belgium to show her support for her boyfriend.

How Mikel Oyarzabal’s quiet rise complements Lamine Yamal’s brilliance for Spain

How Mikel Oyarzabal’s quiet rise complements Lamine Yamal’s brilliance for Spain

5 min readKolkataJul 3, 2026 01:10 PM IST There is nothing remarkable about Mikel Oyarzabal. In a Spanish team filled with colourful characters like Marc Cucurella and Lamine Yamal, the Real Sociedad man’s personality does not shout out from the rooftops. Even after scoring a brace against Austria and firmly entrenching himself in the World Cup Golden Boot race, the chatter is still more about Cucurella’s sublime assists than his calm finishes. But that suits the 29-year-old just fine. Because the last time the limelight was on him, he was savaged by critics after Spain’s 0-0 draw vs Cape Verde a couple of weeks ago. Such was his plight in that match that he set an unwanted record as the first player in World Cup history not to touch the ball in the opening 30 minutes. Quiet achiever Oyarzabal, the silent guardian of ‘La Roja’, would likely want to do without that kind of pressure. It’s away from the chaos that comes with fame where he thrives the most. A loyal soldier, he would much …

‘He pulls magic from golden feet’: Raphinha hails Lamine Yamal’s superhuman impact in title charge | Football News

Ever since Lamine Yamal donned the Barcelona jersey, the teenage sensation has been the talk of the town with his superhuman performances. The 17-year-old wunderkind fired one, finding the back of the net on Thursday’s 2-0 win against Espanyol to lead Barca to their 28th La Liga title. Where his game on the pitch makes him so impressive, his maturity off the pitch is also worth noticing. Speaking after the title win, Yamal addressed the fans and said, “To all the culés (Barca fans), this has only just started. I never get tired of winning — it’s always on my mind. “I don’t care what others say; I concentrate on the matches and will keep doing what I do for my club,” he added.  Story continues below this ad Yamal’s teammate Raphinha also lauded him. “We didn’t have many clear chances but we have a kid in there who sometimes pulls something out of the golden feet he has and he gave us peace of mind to stay in the game more calmly,” Raphinha said …

Lamine Yamal’s Barcelona Hopeful Of Champions League Revival

Approaching a decade since Barcelona last won the Champions League, the Catalan giants face Monaco in this season’s European opener on Thursday aiming to make a statement. The club are desperate to battle their way back into the European elite after years in the wilderness and after a strong start under new coach Hansi Flick, their hopes are rising. There were some signs they were on the right track in Europe last season when they reached the quarter-finals for the first time in four years. After a 3-2 win at Paris Saint-Germain in the first leg they collapsed at home after Ronald Araujo was sent off in the first half with Barca leading by a goal. PSG netted three times to oust Xavi Hernandez’s side 6-4 on aggregate and the coach was sacked at the end of a disappointing trophyless season. Flick’s Barcelona have five wins from five in La Liga and have Spain’s teenage Euro 2024 star Lamine Yamal playing a decisive role in their attack. The winger has developed at an …
