This is a photo from a UNICEF photoshoot where the family of Lamine Yamal won a price to have a photoshoot with Messi. This is the result lmao. Lets assume he only washed this one baby.
Messi is the GOAT, played for Barcelona, started as a right wing, wore #10, had a left foot
Lamine Yamal went on to also play for Barcelona, start as right wing, wear #10 and also a lefty. Oh and he also went on to become the greatest 16 year old in Football history.
So what is the likelihood of one random kid that Messi washes to go on to:
– Become a football pro (300m people play football, around 100,000 pro players in the world)
– Go on to play in the same team as Messi (only 25 among those 100,000 play for Barcelona)
– Happen to play the same position as Messi (1 in 11)
– Happen to wear the same number as Messi (1 in like 20or something (cause its not a completely random distribution)
– Happen to be a lefty like Messi (10% chance)
– And become the greatest 16 year old player in Football history. 2 billion football players since 1900. He was the very best 16 year old among them. 1 in 2,000,000,000 chance?
I suck at maths and statistics but its not as straight forward as just multiypling these probabilites right? THe numbers and likelihoods are taken from Google search. Maybe its not all super accurate
How many kids did Messi have to wash statistically for there to be one baby among them that checks all these checkmarks?
