A mural of Argentine footballer Lionel Messi is seen at a football pitch known as "El Campito", where he played as a child, in his childhood neighborhood in Rosario, Santa Fe province, Argentina, on April 30, 2026. At the age of 12, Lionel Messi ended the career of his first coach. When Enrique Dominguez stopped coaching him in 1999 at the youth club Malvinas Argentinas in the city of Rosario, he resigned, saying he had "already coached the best player in the world", who could now be set to play in his sixth World Cup.
