The photo 10 years ago

The photo has been viral, especially after the semifinal in which Messi and Alvarez both shined and scored.

As it could be seen in the photo, Alvarez was a boy, probably asking the Argentina’s superstar to be in the same frame.

10 years after that photo, the pair is tearing it up for the country.

Messi and Alvarez have been directly involved in 11 of Argentina’s 12 goals at the 2022 World Cup, including each of the last eight.

Social media like Twitter or Facebook are sharing other proof that Alvarez was destined to be in this World Cup, to be with his ‘idol’ Messi.

Things came full circle for Julián Álvarez 🙏

“What’s your dream in football?”
“Play in a World Cup.”
“Who’s your idol?”
“Messi.”
