David Beckham Breaks Down In Tears After Lionel Messi Wins On His Inter Miami Debut

With a game-winning goal against Cruz Azul in the 94th minute, Argentine icon Lionel Messi made his Major League Soccer (MLS) debut for Inter Miami, which is co-owned by David Beckham. Inter Miami won 2-1 thanks to a spectacular goal from Messi, who relocated from Paris to America, in stoppage time. The strike sent the supporters to their feet and made Inter Miami’s owner, former England football player Beckham, distraught.

The crowd’s faces were filled with pure joy as they saw their team play and their hero win the game for them. Beckham was unable to contain his tears as his emotions signalled a number of things, including his team’s victory, his decision to bring Messi to the MLS, and the crowd’s overall satisfaction with the outcome. Messi scored a free-kick, and Beckham, who was watching with his wife Victoria, was thrilled to see it happen. Messi produced a beautiful strike to put the ball in the back of the net.

As a co-owner, Beckham acknowledged that it was difficult to watch the game from the stands because he had no influence over what took place on the field. However, he was most pleased for the Inter Miami supporters because they received what they deserved, and he had nothing but praise for Messi and teammate Sergio Busquets.

“To be honest, as soon as I saw the free kick given, I thought, ‘This is the way it’s meant to end,'” Beckham said in a statement on Apple’s MLS Season Pass. Particularly when you have players like Leo and Sergio on the pitch, they deliver that.

For our fans, tonight is really exciting. All of these spectators have travelled here to watch Leo perform, let alone merely step onto the pitch. In all honesty, Sergio’s performance was outstanding,” Beckham continued. “But you know, to see Leo enter the MLS and perform is a dream come true for everyone in this stadium and around the nation. I’m at a loss for words in that situation.
