Just got home, waiting for the halftime replays. Not sure I like the day light savings time starts. I prefer the games well before the wife comes home.
That picture still amazes me. What’s the chance that happens? That’s like Pele swaddling Messi or Ronaldo.
In some ways, the random backstory makes it even more extraordinary. It's not like Yamal was the child of a teammate or of another La Liga soccer player (who one might reasonably expect to turn out to be a good soccer player). No, Yamal was just a random kid.
Photographer didn't believe in destiny, until he captured iconic Messi-Yamal image
Joan Monfort never believed in fate, until 16 years after a calendar shoot, he discovered he'd photographed football's GOAT bathing his heir apparent.

Just saw the highlights.
Yamal. Best player in the world.
Talk amongst yourselves.
It was a long day at the office and I missed all of the UEFA matches and just had to catch up. HO LEE SHEET! Yamal is ridiculous. Created so many chances on offense... that pass to Rapinha, the goal... a few he missed. His hustle on the one ball before it went out - that offense was running Benefica ragged the first half. So many chances. Lewandowski has to do better.
Rapinha is in such good form, it's crazy. Pedri continues to play phenomenally in the middle of the pitch.
Then I see the PSG vs. Liverpool. What did I say - Dembele was the key. Got an early goal... should have had a few more chances, but his teammates chose to make the wrong play and not give the man the ball. Almost sealed it late extra time. Nasty kick in shootout.
I’m pulling for Barcelona, but I worry about Inter Milan. They have the defense to pull the upset. Real Madrid on the top of bracket is my guess. Would love a Barca vs RM final with Yamal taking home the MVP and Ballon ‘d Or (sp)
