Lionel Messi has been spending some quality time with his pregnant wife as the pair enjoy a sip of 'Mate' tea.
The Barcelona star has often been seen with this South American favourite, a beverage which is popular with his teammates.
With the Catalan club nine points clear in the race for La Liga and with the Argentine the current top scorer in the league, we may have found his secret to success.
Mate is a caffeinated drink, similar to tea, which has become popular in South America- notably Argentina and Uruguay. It is consumed through a straw and traditionally held in a gourd.
The 30-year-old was pictured at home enjoying the caffeine-rich drink ahead of Barcelona's second-leg against Celta Vigo in the Copa del Rey.
His pregnant wife Antonella Roccuzzo was also pictured drinking it with the distinctive mug balanced on her baby bump.
Messi is not the only Barca star who enjoys a sip of Mate. Teammate Luis Suarez is also a fan of the South American beverage and has frequently been seen enjoying a mug or two.
