The Argentinian superstar had thoughtful gestures with Yamal, recorded by the photographer. Yamal was born on July 13, 2007, in Esplugues de Llobregat, Barcelona. From a young age, the player’s parents expressed their desire for their child to pursue a football career.
At the age of 7, the player began joining La Masia. The above photo quickly went viral on social networks. El Pais calls this one of the exciting moments of Spanish football, because Yamal is on his way to going down in history.
