"So, Señor Messi, we meet again."

Against a red background, the young Leo Messi is sitting on the floor, his (studless) sneakers quite visible, somewhat awkwardly posed giving a plump baby a bath in a plastic baby tub. Baby shampoo, a towel, and a suds-covered rubber ducky are on the ground in front of the tub. The baby looks unimpressed.

Leo Messi gives the infant Lamine Yamal—now perhaps the best young soccer player in the world and a standout for the Spanish national team—a bath in a photo for a UNICEF charity calendar in 2007. (Yamal grew up in suburban Barcelona and his parents won a lottery for him to participate in the photo shoot; the 20-year-old Messi was on the team but not quite a star for Barca at the time.) They'll play against one another in the World Cup final on Sunday.
