Recently, DB7 shared a picture in a suit drinking the famous ‘Mate tea’ on Instagram. He posted the story with a caption saying, “If it’s good enough for Leo,” while tagging Inter Miami and La Pulga in the process.

Interestingly, the story caught the forward’s eye, to which he reposted the story with a response. As translated by DeepL, he wrote, “I’ll make you drink some good Mate.” Notably, Mate tea is Messi’s favorite drink, and he has often been seen drinking it on pre-match occasions. In fact, a majority of soccer stars also drink the famous tea.
It’s good that Messi is already building good relationships during his stay in Miami. Certainly, aside from off-pitch developments, he will also be looking to help his new side on the field. In fact, his impact has already changed the fortunes of Miami.

Subsequently, winning ways continued for Beckham’s side as they thrashed Atlanta United 4-0 on Match Day 2 of the Cup.
