00:00Lamin Yamal of Spain, 18-year-old boy wonder, right winger from FC Barcelona.
00:07Now this could be Messi's last World Cup, so if Lamin Yamal is healthy in the knockout rounds,
00:13we just might see the passing of the torch.
00:16And here's a full circle moment on this kid's greatness and expectations.
00:20In 2007, as a six-month-old baby, he appeared in a UNICEF photo alongside of young Lino Messi.
00:28Fast forward to the start of 2025-2026 season.
00:33FC Barcelona announced Yamal would wear the iconic number 10 jersey,
00:38which Messi had also worn during his tenure at the club.
00:41The football gods have spoken, and Yamal is the second coming of Messi.
00:47His kid is 18 years old, and his overall stats this season are enough for a top-five ranking in
00:54FIFA.
00:55But how much will we see of the soon face of football in his World Cup debut?
01:00He's coming into the tournament nursing a hamstring injury that shut down his season early.
01:06As of now, he's expected to miss Spain's opening group match against Cape Verde,
01:10and he's doubtful for their second fixture against Saudi Arabia.
01:14But if this kid is 100% going into the knockout rounds, it's lights out.
01:20Yamal and Spain might have to take down the defending champs Argentina and Messi to lift the cup.
01:28They say grind until your idols become your rivals.
