The US soccerverse seems to enjoy the presence of Messi. Subsequently, he gave David Beckham and his wife a reason to have a not-so-drunk celebration. In all fairness, Messi has already left a decent impact on the country. In fact, it has led Beckham to follow the same interests as the 35-year-old.

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.
