what does messi say about yamal photo

Messi hasn’t publicly given a notable comment about that baby photo, at least in the reports I found. The discussion around it has mostly centered on Lamine Yamal’s reaction, where he said he was surprised by the image and happy to have a photo with “the best player in history”.

What’s known

• The viral photo shows a young Lionel Messi with baby Lamine Yamal during a 2007 charity calendar shoot.

• Coverage around the image focuses on the story behind the photo, not on a direct Messi quote about it.

• Yamal later described the picture as surprising and meaningful, and said he was proud to be in the same frame as Messi.

So, in plain terms

If you’re asking whether Messi has said anything specific about the photo: I couldn’t find a verified direct quote from him in the available coverage. Most of the viral commentary comes from Yamal and from the photographer explaining how the image came to be.
