Football Fans Compare Messi and Yamal to Jujutsu Kaisen Stars

Following the 2026 World Cup final, football fans embraced a viral Jujutsu Kaisen crossover comparing Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal to anime legends. The creative edits frame the match as a ultimate battle between football history and the rising new generation.


In these viral edits, Messi embodies the legendary boss figure akin to Sukuna or Gojo Satoru, bearing the weight of historic records and Barcelona’s golden era. Meanwhile, 19-year-old Yamal represents the rising protagonist, Yuji Itadori, carrying the future of both Spain and modern football.


The trend spiked after Spain's victory, with fans sharing scenes of Yamal comforting Messi alongside the iconic anime quote, "Stand proud, you are strong," beautifully capturing a generational passing of the torch.
