Ander Herrera has revealed a ‘secret ingredient’ of the Paris Saint-Germain squad’s diet. During a live session on Instagram, the Parisians’ midfielder tells in conversation with Fútbol Emotion that the group of players is expected to drink a beetroot smoothie, at least on the day of the match. According to Herrera a scientifically proven, performance-enhancing drug. “They give us beet juice. A lot of guys think it’s gross, but I think it’s fine to drink. After the game you have to piss, and then it looks like it’s blood. The first time I really thought I was bleeding,” Herrera said.
