Lionel Messi, representing Argentina in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final, joined an incredible collection of sports legends for an iconic selfie this week. Before hitting the pitch, Messi stood alongside stars like Tom Brady and Novak Djokovic in a photo snapped by Kevin Durant, right there on stage at the 2026 Fanatics Fest in New York City.

Seriously, the list of legends in this shot is insane. Beyond Messi, Brady, and Djokovic, Durant captured soccer stars Rio Ferdinand, Rodri, and Emiliano Martínez. And just for good measure, rapper Travis Scott and comedian Kevin Hart were in the frame too. This star-studded moment went down during the 2026 Fanatics Fest, an event running from Thursday to Sunday at the Javits Center in Manhattan. It’s a gathering of giants, clearly.
Messi’s Mind Is Still On The World Cup Final
While the selfie is blowing up social feeds, let’s not forget what’s really cooking for Messi. He’s fresh off Argentina’s arrival Thursday night in New Jersey, ready to face Spain in the World Cup Final this weekend. That massive showdown is set for MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, with kickoff slated for 3 p.m. ET. Talk about a warm-up act before the main event!
So yeah, an all-time selfie for the books, but the real stakes are still on the field. Messi and Argentina have a massive game ahead. Get ready, because the World Cup Final is upon us.
