Debunking the Myth: Leo Messi's Alleged Childhood Photos with Barcelona Youngsters Were Actually Charity Events
The Viral Myth Unpacked
Social media loves a feel-good story, especially when it involves football legends mentoring future stars. Recently, posts claimed Lionel Messi took childhood photos with current Barça talents Pau Cubarsí and Gerard Martín. As someone who thrives on data verification, I had to dig deeper.
Cubarsí’s Case: Nephew, Not Teammate
The ‘photo evidence’ of Cubarsí and Messi? It’s from a family album—Messi posing with his nephew. Cubarsí’s March 2024 interview (often cited as ‘proof’) never mentions Messi. Yet, the narrative spread faster than a counterattack.
Gerard Martín’s Misattributed Moment
The second ‘proof’ is even more ironic. The image shows Messi in 2016 comforting an Afghan boy wearing a塑料袋球衣 (plastic-bag jersey). Somehow, this morphed into a tale of Martín’s childhood encounter. Data doesn’t lie: timestamps and context matter.
The Real Hero: Messi’s Quiet Charity Work
The most touching photo comes from Tommy’s mother, who thanked Messi for inspiring her growth-hormone-deficient son in 2010. Her emotional Instagram post before the 2022 World Cup final reveals the real Messi—a man who changes lives off the pitch.
Why This Matters
In an era of AI deepfakes and meme culture, verifying sources is crucial. As analysts, we must champion accuracy over virality—even if it means debunking heartwarming myths.

Фейк чи реальність?
Соцмережі знову розповідають історії про Мессі та його “дитячі” фото з майбутніми зірками Барси. Але дані не брешуть: це все благодійні акції та родинні фото!
Пластикова легенда
Найсмішніше – фото з хлопчиком у пластиковій футболці, якого видали за Жерара Мартіна. Ну як так?! (Сміх)
Давайте перевіряти!
У світі AI-фейків варто бути уважними. Тож, шановні, перед репостом – гугліть! 😉 Хто з вами теж потрапляв на такі меми?
میسی کے ساتھ بچپن کی تصاویر؟ 🤔
سوشل میڈیا پر یہ دعویٰ کہ میسی نے موجودہ بارسیلونا کے نوجوانوں کے ساتھ بچپن میں تصاویر بنوائی تھیں، بالکل غلط ہے! درحقیقت، یہ تصاویر یا تو خاندانی البم سے ہیں یا پھر خیراتی تقاریب سے۔
پلاسٹک بیگ والا جرسی 😂
جیرارڈ مارٹن کا معاملہ تو سب سے مزیدار ہے۔ وہ مشہور تصویر جس میں میسی ایک افغان بچے کو تسلی دے رہے ہیں، اب اسے مارٹن کے بچپن کی کہانی بنا دیا گیا ہے۔ کیا بات ہے!
اصل ہیرو: میسی کی خاموش خدمت ❤️
اصل کہانی تو وہ ہے جب میسی نے 2010 میں ایک ہارمون کی کمی والے بچے کو متاثر کیا۔ یہی ہے اصل میسی - میدان سے باہر بھی زندگیاں بدلنے والا۔
کیا آپ بھی ان جعلی خبروں کا شکار ہوئے ہیں؟ نیچے بتائیں!
La légende urbaine démasquée
Les réseaux sociaux adorent les belles histoires, surtout quand elles impliquent Messi et des jeunes talents. Mais cette fois, c’est du grand n’importe quoi !
Le neveu, pas le coéquipier
La photo de Messi avec Cubarsí ? C’est en fait son neveu ! On dirait que certains confondent album familial et vestiaire du Barça…
Le coup du sac plastique
Et l’histoire de Gerard Martín ? Encore mieux : c’était un enfant afghan avec un maillot en sac plastique ! Le pauvre, il ne s’attendait pas à devenir un “jeune talent” catalan du jour au lendemain.
Le vrai Messi
La seule vraie belle histoire ici, c’est celle de Tommy, inspiré par Messi en 2010. Ça, c’est la vraie classe.
Moralité : avant de partager, vérifiez vos sources… ou attendez mon analyse ! 😉
La vérité derrière les photos virales
Ah, les réseaux sociaux… toujours prêts à transformer un moment touchant en légende urbaine ! Les photos de Messi avec des “jeunes talents” du Barça ? En réalité, c’est soit son neveu, soit un enfant afghan rencontré lors d’une œuvre caritative.
Le pouvoir des timestamps
Comme dirait mon collègue statisticien : “Les données ne mentent pas, mais les memes si !” La prochaine fois, vérifiez l’heure de la photo avant de partager.
