The atmosphere before the World Cup final was also heated outside of the official press conferences. FIFA organized a special event at the “Fan Fest”, attended by the coaches of Spain and Argentina, Luis de la Fuente and Lionel Scaloni, as well as Rodrigo Hernández (Rodri) and goalkeeper Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez. However, the most attention was paid to Lionel Messi.

The Argentina captain made a surprise appearance at the event moderated by three world sports legends: Novak Djokovic, Kevin Durant and Tom Brady. During the conversation, in addition to analyzing Sunday's final, Messi reserved big words for Spain's talent, Lamine Yamal.

"Lamine is an extraordinary footballer. I have followed him closely because he plays for a club that I love very much and to which I always wish success. Even though he is only 19 years old, he is already one of the most important players in world football. He has his whole career ahead of him and the opportunity to write history. We will try to prevent this from happening this time," Messi declared with a smile.

The Argentine star was also asked about the iconic photo taken 19 years ago for a charity calendar, where he holds a baby, now known as Lamine Yamal. An image that has taken on special meaning, as the two will now face off in the World Cup final.

"It's something incredible. Life surprises you. I took a photo with him when he was just a baby and now we're going to play against each other in the World Cup final. He's one of the best in the world at the moment. I wish him a lot of success, because his success is also the success of Barcelona. However, we will do our best so that he doesn't have his best day, even though it's very difficult," Messi said.

Although he praised Lamine Yamali, the Argentine captain stressed that Spain's strength does not only rely on the young Barcelona talent. "It's not just Lamine. Spain has many quality players and plays excellent football. We also have our weapons," concluded Messi, who aims to win the second World Cup of his career against Spain.
