Lionel Messi’s presence at Inter Miami has not only helped the team’s return to winning ways but also offered a breath of fresh air in the locker room. The World Cup-winning Argentine star has won the hearts of his Inter Miami teammates by giving them each a unique gift. Messi is said to have given his teammates personalised pink and black Beats headphones with the club’s logo inscribed on them.
Inter Miami right-back DeAndre Yedlin was seen using the custom-made headphones after his team’s comfortable victory against Atlanta United. The American footballer revealed that it was a gift from Messi.
“Yeah, that’s Messi. Messi got them for the team. I don’t know if he bought them, but he gave everybody headphones for his first game,” Yedlin said.
Previously, Messi helped Inter Miami teammate Leonardo Campana to get tickets for his high-profile presentation at Florida’s DRV PNK Stadium.
Lionel Messi also chose to give his World Cup-winning Argentina teammates 35 golden iPhones earlier this year. The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner reportedly gave a 24-carat personalised iPhone to every member of the Argentine squad’s support staff and team members. Each of the phones were believed to have the player’s name, number and the Argentinian logo engraved on it.
