For believers in the soccer gods, Lamine Yamal's ascent to the upper echelons of the sport could almost seem predestined.
As a child, Lamine's family won a raffle to appear alongside Lionel Messi in a UNICEF calendar, and in 2007, photographer Joan Monfort captured pictures of a chubby-cheeked, 3-month-old Lamine in a blue plastic tub being given a bath by none other than Lionel Messi, then 20.
Now, nearly two decades later, the two soccer stars are set to face each other in the World Cup final.
