In December 2007 — a 20-year-old Lionel Messi walked into the Camp Nou dressing room for a charity photo shoot organised by Barcelona and UNICEF. Sitting in a blue plastic baby bathtub was a 5-month-old baby. His family had won a raffle to be there. That baby was Lamine Yamal. Messi held him. They took the photos. Nobody knew what either of them would become. Not yet. 18 years later — they meet in the World Cup Final. Yamal's father posted the photo on Instagram after Euro 2024 with the caption — "The beginning of two legends." It went viral instantly. The world couldn't believe it. The photographer who took those pictures — Joan Monfort — said it best. "Destiny plays an important role in these things." Messi. 39 years old. 21 World Cup goals. The greatest player who ever lived — one match away from his second World Cup title. The man who held the baby. Yamal. 18 years old. The best young player on the planet. Euro 2024 winner. The baby in the bathtub — now standing across from the GOAT on the biggest stage in football. Both from Barcelona. Both wearing the number 10. Both on opposite sides of a World Cup Final. July 19. MetLife Stadium. New Jersey. This is not just a football match. This is destiny.

France 0-2 Spain. Dallas Stadium. July 14, 2026. The most feared attack at this entire World Cup — Mbappé, Dembélé, Olise, Doué — held to 0.3 xG. 10 shots. 3 on target. Nothing. Spain were clinical. France were powerless. 22nd minute — Digne fouled Yamal in the box. Penalty. Oyarzabal — ice cold. 1-0. Spain in control. 58th minute — Porro played a give-and-go with Olmo, drove into the box and side-footed it past Maignan. 2-0. France were done. Mbappé had a yellow card for serious foul play in the 86th minute. He barely touched the ball in dangerous areas all game. For the first time at this tournament — Spain's defence made him completely invisible. Just like they did at Euro 2024. Just like they did in the Nations League. Spain have now beaten France three times in a row in major tournaments. Deschamps walked off the pitch in tears — his last match as France manager after 14 years in charge. He leaves with a 2018 World Cup, a 2022 final, and 26 World Cup matches managed — a new all-time record. But tonight was Spain's. Only their second ever World Cup final. Their first since they lifted the trophy in South Africa in 2010. Now Spain wait. England or Argentina. MetLife Stadium. July 19.
