In 2012, 12-year-old Julian Alvarez took photo with his idol Lionel Messi. 10 years later, they're heading to a World Cup Final together with nine goals between them. 🇦🇷 pic.twitter.com/pBkreGJ8tI

The magnificent duo.
Julian Alvarez 10 years ago asking Messi for a pic, who he was a fan of.
Tonight Alvarez scores and Messi provides him with an assist for the second.

Argentina won the match against Croatia; Opinions about the match being rigged won't change that. When Messi misses a PK he's criticized but when he scores, it's rigged? Get serious. Congrats to Messi on becoming Argentina's all-time goalscorer in WC history & kudos to Alvarez. pic.twitter.com/AhXlAVRczm
