Yamal’s father: ‘Messi blessed Lamine? Maybe it was Lamine to bless Messi’

 

“There are coincidences in life,” Lamine Yamal’s father, Mounir Nasraoui, has told Mundo Deportivo when asked about viral pics with Leo Messi and 8-month-old Lamine.

When asked if the Argentine ‘blessed’ his son back in the day, Mounir replied: “Or it was Lamine to bless Leo. For me, my son is the best.”

Messi was pictured bathing the kid for the Barca Foundation 2008 solidarity calendar. Yamal’s family won the draw and got a lucky chance to take a pic with Leo.

16 years later, Lamine seems to be following into the Argentine’s footsteps.
