The football world has been sent into a frenzy after witnessing Lionel Messi’s latest goal celebration for Inter Miami, and none more so than the club’s co-owner, David Beckham.
In Inter Miami’s recent clash against Atlanta United, Messi produced yet another moment of magic, rifling home a spectacular long-range strike to draw his side level. But it was his celebration that truly captured the imagination of the global audience.
As Messi wheeled away in jubilation, the six-time Ballon d’Or winner proceeded to unfurl a pair of imaginary “angel wings” – a nod to his long-time teammate and close friend, Angel Di Maria, who has now joined him at Inter Miami.
The symbolism behind the celebration was clear – a heartfelt tribute to the reunification of the two football icons, whose partnership and friendship has been the stuff of legends over the years.
And it was none other than David Beckham, the co-owner of Inter Miami, who was caught on camera absolutely reveling in Messi’s latest display of flair and showmanship.
Beckham, himself a global superstar who transcended the boundaries of the sport, could be seen pumping his fists in the air and celebrating with the same unbridled enthusiasm as the thousands of fans in attendance.
It’s clear that Beckham, like the rest of the football world, is enthralled by the prospect of witnessing Messi and Di Maria rekindle their telepathic understanding and devastating partnership on the pitch. The two legends have tormented defenses together at the highest levels of the game, and now they have the chance to do so on the MLS stage.
Beckham, no doubt, will be hoping that this is just the first of many iconic moments to come as Messi and Di Maria embark on their new chapter together at Inter Miami. The co-owner’s sheer joy and excitement at seeing his prized acquisition, Messi, pay tribute to his long-time friend and new teammate is a testament to the truly special nature of this reunion.
Football fans across the globe will be keeping a close eye on Inter Miami in the coming months, eagerly anticipating what other magical moments Messi and Di Maria will conjure up together. And if Beckham’s reaction is anything to go by, they’re in for a truly unforgettable ride.
