Recalling how Dani Olmo once had to take a pic with Leo Messi AGAINST his own will

“Once I was with my father while he had a game with Castelldefels [Miquel Olmo is a former manager]. I was 8 years old,” RB Leipzig star Dani Olmo has told Diario AS.

“I was kicking the ball alone and happy, when someone – I think it was a friend of dad’s – approached me and said: ‘Hey, Dani, come here! You won’t believe it. You can take a picture with Lionel Messi!’.

“Wow, Messi, right? In Castelldefels? What kid wouldn’t want a picture with him? Well me! I said something like, “No thanks. I’m fine. I want to keep playing! It’s just a picture, right?’ But, against my will, they put me next to Messi and we took the photo.”

“I didn’t even say anything to him. I just waited for the click and then I went back to my ball, like I was doing him a favour.”

Little did he know that a year later he would be accepted into La Masia academy and stick to Blaugrana colours for long seven years.

Guess he’s not regretting taking that photo with the GOAT now!
