May 1, 2005. An indelible moment.

Ronaldinho to Messi. History. The start of a journey that changed football and made the lives of all of us who love this game that bit richer.

May 1, 2025. Lamine Yamal is still a month younger than Messi was when he piggybacked on Ronaldinho in celebration of that goal. And he has won the Euro, the Copa del Rey… hell, he’s chasing a treble, not as a bit-part player but a leading man/boy.

This is me on Leo and Lamine.

He’s not Messi mark II. But he’s a bona fide footballing genius.

What do you think?
