After joining Inter Miami Club in July, Messi immediately shined in his first official match. Entering the field in the second half, the Argentine superstar scored the decisive goal in injury time, causing the entire stadium to explode. David Beckham – co-owner of Inter Miami – could not contain his emotions and burst into tears on the field. In a recent interview, the former England player admitted that he almost couldn’t drive his wife home after the match.”I remember when I got in the car to go home, I said to my wife, ‘I’m not sure if I can drive home’. Everything couldn’t be more perfect. It’s all for the American Professional League (MLS). ), both America and the future of football”, David Beckham recalled.

According to Beckham, he and his colleagues were concerned about Messi choosing to return to Barca after his contract with PSG ended. However, the Spanish team was unable to successfully recruit Messi due to financial problems. In the end, the Argentine superstar chose to go to the US to play football and refused the invitation from Saudi Arabia.

Right from the moment he appeared, Messi left an impression on Beckham. “From day one, Messi arrived early and left later than any other player. He is the most professional person in our team,” Beckham added.

Messi joining Inter Miami created a fever in America. Every match with the appearance of the 36-year-old superstar is filled with spectators. At this time, Messi has finished his first season with his new team. The 2022 World Cup champion is expected to rest until the end of 2023 before returning to join the team early next year.
