The photo was also shared by Chicharito, who excitedly called out Peso Pluma in his caption. “What a great atmosphere last night with my Lakers playoff win!” he wrote. “I also don’t want to miss out on the fact that I had the fortune of meeting a phenomenon!”

Peso Pluma replied to his caption, sharing that he is also a fan of Chicharito. “You are great brother! Much admiration and respect,” he wrote.

Chicharito plays professional soccer for the LA Galaxy, joining the team in the year 2020. Before making his move to the US, Chicharito played for some of the world’s biggest soccer teams, including Sevilla, Real Madrid, and West Ham United.
