Lionel Messi won the Copa America trophy with Argentina against Colombia as they won 1-0 in extra time. Lamine Yamal won the European Championship yesterday as Spain defeated England 2-1 in 90 minutes. The two players will meet next summer at the Finalissima, but before that happens, Messi and Yamal will be recognized by the company, and they are both partnered with Adidas. Messi has been with Adidas for many years, while Yamal recently partnered with them and is set to be with them for many years as well. Adidas, like many football fans, considers Messi to be the greatest of all time, but an interesting post celebrating both Messi and Yamal shows that the company believes that the young Spanish winger will soon become one of the best players in the world. They posted a goat with the number 10 below it and a little goat with the number 19 below it. The caption of the post reads, "Whether you’re the GOAT or the new kid on the block: It’s an F50 thing."

Yamal won the Young Player of the Tournament award and was given it after the match against England in the EURO final. Yamal was a great contender to also win the best player of the tournament award but his teammate Rodri won it. Yamal finished the EUROS with one goal and four assists in the competition. He started in six of the seven matches Spain played throughout the competition.

The Spanish winger has impressed many football fans with his performances, and now he will have the chance to play against one of his favorite players he grew up watching, Lionel Messi. The two are set to meet soon since Spain and Argentina won their respective competitions this summer.

Lamine Yamal's dream has come true

A few days ago, Yamal spoke about hoping to win the European Championship with Spain, but he also mentioned that he wishes Argentina to win the Copa America to face Messi for the first time in his young career. Yamal said, "I hope Messi wins the Copa América and I win the Euros, so I can play against him in the Finalissima."
