Sometimes reality writes symbolism so absurd that fiction would be accused of trying too hard.


19 years ago, Messi was photographed bathing baby Lamine Yamal during a charity calendar shoot.
At the time, Messi wore number 19 for Argentina.
Now Lamine walks into a World Cup final against Messi at 19 years old, wearing number 19 for Spain.
The World Cup final is played on the 19th of this month.
Messi's birthday is June 24. Lamine's is July 13. These dates are 19 days apart.
If you look closer, it can get stranger.
Lionel Andrés Messi.
Take the first letter of each name: LAM
Take the second letter of each name: INE
This is the kind of full-circle football mythology you cannot manufacture.
