David Beckham, the founder of Inter Miami, and his wife Victoria celebrated wildly after his team won their first-ever trophy as a result of yet another incredible Lionel Messi performance.
The Beckhams were speechless as they saw Messi lift the title with teammate Jordi Alba and embrace one another on the field at Geodis Park. It’s Beckham’s first trophy after retiring and transitioning to club ownership, despite the fact that he won 19 major awards during his playing career.
The Miami and Salford City President and Co-Owner watched with pride as the team he formed in 2018 won the Leagues Cup. On the field, he hugged Messi, Alba, and his wife Victoria during an emotional moment.
Messi, Alba, and Sergio Busquets are now part of the Miami squad, which only joined the MLS in 2020. It was a turning point in all of football, not just North America, as Messi became the player with the most awards in history. Messi won his 44th career prize with the Leagues Cup victory, an incredible feat.
Messi’s hardest test to yet came in the championship match against Nashville SC, who were undoubtedly the superior team for the majority of the contest. Nashville was also playing in their home stadium for the championship, therefore the vast majority of the 30,000 spectators supported Nashville and booed Messi constantly.
But Messi silenced them in the greatest way possible by giving Miami the lead with a fantastic goal in the first 24 minutes. Messi bailed on five places.
Since moving to Miami, Messi has scored 1.43 goals per game, despite Beckham’s warnings that it might take some time for the 36-year-old to adjust. No matter how talented he is or how tall he is, Leo and Sergio will still need time to adjust, according to Beckham.
But if they keep up this pace, they’ll quickly move up the table, and another exciting MLS Cup playoff saga may be in store. When Beckham joined LA Galaxy in 2007, he forever altered the MLS, and by bringing on Messi, he has helped it change once more.
