Feliz cumpleaños, Leo Messi!

The soccer icon turned 37 on Monday with a little help from his friends — and a lot of wine.

The Inter Miami star didn’t just celebrate with his mates with a cake, he also linked up with his generous boss — that would be David Beckham.

The two men posed on Becks’ Instagram page, a giant bottle of wine between them.

Sources tell Miami.com the vino was a magnum of Catena Zapata Malbec Argentino, crafted by world-renowned enologist Alejandro Vigil.

How fitting. Vigil, who owns Casa Vigil in Upper Buena Vista, was dubbed the “Messi of Wines” by the Michelin Guide.
