## Prompt

```text
Create a realistic vertical split-screen "Then vs Now" transformation featuring the same famous {athlete}. The composition is divided into two stacked sections. Top panel: a warm nostalgic childhood portrait set in the player's family home during their birth year (display the year in clean white text on the left, e.g. "{birth_year}"). The child sits naturally facing the camera wearing a simple white T-shirt, soft golden sunlight streaming through a nearby window, authentic 90s/80s home interior, subtle film grain, warm Kodak color grading, emotional and cinematic. Bottom panel: the same person recreated as their present-day adult self in 2026, maintaining recognizable facial structure and identity, wearing a plain white oversized T-shirt inside a modern café with warm ambient lighting and shallow depth of field. Place a small rounded-corner reference portrait of the player in their national team jersey at the bottom-right corner. Match the pose, eye direction, framing, and expression between the child and adult versions to emphasize the passage of time. Hyper-realistic skin, natural facial evolution, consistent identity, cinematic photography, editorial quality, soft depth of field, 85mm lens, ultra-detailed, photorealistic, 8K, masterpiece.
