Messi Gifts Golden Mate Tea Sets to Argentine Teammates After World Cup Final Loss
After Argentina's heartbreaking loss to Spain in the 2026 World Cup final, captain Lionel Messi gave each teammate a personalized golden mate tea set as a consolation gift. The gift was revealed by Kelsey Rose, girlfriend of Argentine defender Marcos Senesi, in a social media unboxing video. Rose, a British footballer who played for Chelsea's youth academy and Bournemouth women's team, showed the custom backpack and golden thermos with matching cups. She humorously struggled to remember the name of the metal straw used for mate tea. Rose also shared her emotional conflict during the semi-final between England and Argentina, which Argentina won. She expressed pride in both her home country's performance and her boyfriend reaching the final. The couple is now on vacation, with the tea set serving as a memento of the tournament.
