  • Lionel Messi was at the Fanatics Fest in New York ahead of the 2026 World Cup final against Spain.
  • During the event, Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez acted as a translator for a question posed by NFL legend Tom Brady to Messi.
  • Brady asked Messi about a photo with Lamine Yamal and the significance of playing against him 19 years later.

Lionel Messi made an appearance at the Fanatics Fest in New York, just two days before the 2026 World Cup final against Spain.

During the event, Messi shared a lighthearted moment with his national teammate, Emiliano "Dibu" Martínez, who stepped in to translate a question from host Tom Brady, the legendary former NFL quarterback.

Brady's question to Messi centered on an iconic photograph of the Argentine star with Lamine Yamal when the young Spanish player was just a baby. Brady inquired about the significance of Messi playing in a World Cup final against Yamal, 19 years after that initial picture was taken.

Due to a slight delay from the event's official translator, "Dibu" Martínez quickly came to the rescue, relaying Brady's question to Messi in Spanish. The interaction highlighted the camaraderie between the players and added a memorable moment to the event.
