DeAndre Yedlin reveals the gift Lionel Messi gave each member of the Inter Miami squad before the World Cup winner's debut for the MLS club
Lionel Messi has made an excellent start on the pitch for Inter Miami and he is proving popular with his team-mates off the field too.
Following his arrival Messi gave each of his team-mates a pair of pink Beats by Dre headphones to represent the colour of the club's kit.
When asked about the headphones, former Newcastle defender DeAndre Yedlin said: 'You have to ask Messi. Messi got them for the team. I don't know if he bought them, but he gave everyone headphones for his first game.'
After his move to Inter Miami was officially confirmed on July 15, Messi made his debut for Inter Miami against Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup.
It proved to be a memorable occasion as Messi scored a dramatic late winner in stoppage time with a free-kick as his side won 2-1.
In his next game, a 4-0 win over Atlanta, Messi scored twice and also provided an assist for Robert Taylor.
Messi's contract at Inter Miami is set to run until December 2025. He will earn $50-60million (£38.9million-46.7million) a year during his time at the club.
Messi spent the majority of his career at Barcelona, where he scored an incredible 672 goals, won an array of trophies and established his status as one of the greatest players of all time.
He then spent two years at Paris Saint-Germain, for whom he scored 32 times.
