Shining at the European Football Championship, the Spanish national team's prodigy Lamine Yamalis has already captured the hearts of fans.

The 16-year-old forward from the country demonstrates solid gameplay and contributed with a fantastic goal to his compatriots' success against the French and qualification to the tournament final.

The media of the Old Continent uncovered an interesting photoshoot, in which two football stars were immortalized in 2007 - the then 20-year-old "Barcelona" forward Lionel Messi and a baby L. Yamalis sitting in a bathtub.

Photographer Joan Monfort said at the time that the Argentine was very shy and at first didn't even know how to handle a baby.
