They want you to think this wasn't scripted:

Messi bathed Lamine Yamal as a baby 19 years ago.

Messi's first World Cup: entered at 18, turned 19, wore No. 19.

Yamal's first World Cup: entered at 18, turned 19, wears No. 19.

Now the baby and the man from that photo face off in the World Cup final on July 19.

Football's scriptwriters are getting sloppy. This simulation is glitching.
