REVEALED: The cheeky Christmas present Argentina superstar Messi sent to particular goalkeepers

Argentina superstar Lionel Messi celebrated the World Cup win in style after lifting the trophy this winter.

Messi, who led his nation to the trophy by defeating France in the final on penalties, enjoyed celebrating the accomplishment in his native country.

However, Messi has often enjoyed being generous during the holiday season.

In 2020, after he scored his 644th goal for Barcelona, he sent out personalized bottles of beer as a Christmas present to all the goalkeepers that he scored past in his career.

Diego Alves had the distinction of receiving 21 bottles, while Gorka Iraizoz got 18, with Iker Casillas and Andres Fernandez getting 17 each.

Another who was high on the list was Diego Lopez with 14, while Ivan Cueller and Roberto got 13 each.
