Topps has announced new trading cards tied to the 2026 FIFA World Cup final, including a highly anticipated card featuring the iconic 2007 photo of Lionel Messi bathing a baby Lamine Yamal.

Additionally, Topps released two limited-edition Topps Now cards commemorating the World Cup final halftime show, featuring Justin Bieber and Coldplay, available for $11.99 each until July 23. The article includes quotes from Messi reflecting on the fateful photo and from photographer Joan Monfort about the original 2007 shoot for a charity calendar.
