Brady asked Messi about a notable photo with Lamine Yamal, a young Spanish player who is now a key figure in world football.
Messi praised his former club, Barcelona, and highlighted Yamal's importance, calling him one of the best players in the world. "Barca is a wonderful club that I follow closely and wish the best," Messi said. He also acknowledged Yamal's potential, saying, "He has a great opportunity to achieve something historic on Sunday, and we will do our best to stop him."
The Argentine captain reflected on the photo, saying, "It's amazing how life works. I took a picture with him when he was a baby, and now we're competing in a World Cup." Messi expressed admiration for Yamal, stating, "He's already one of the best in the world, no doubt. I wish him luck, especially since his success is also good for Barcelona."
Looking ahead to the final against Spain, Messi adopted a tone of respect, saying, "We'll try to play a good game to limit his performance. We know it will be tough; Spain has fantastic players and plays incredible football." The World Cup final between Spain and Argentina is set to take place on Sunday at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
