Beckham once again showed his admiration for Messi
After the World Cup final, in which Leo once again took center stage on a historic day for world soccer by bringing his sixth tournament and third final in 12 years to a close, Beckham didn’t hesitate to
express his admiration.
The former Manchester United player shared a post on his

photo of Messi
looking at his fans while wearing his silver medal and with tears in his eyes, accompanying it with
words full of appreciation:
“
Our captain. We couldn’t be prouder @leomessi

Argentine’s arrival at Inter Miami in 2023
. The world champion has transformed the club’s fortunes both on and off the field, delivering
titles, decisive performances, and becoming the leading figure
at the American club
.
The post came at a moment of immense significance for
Messi
, who returned to the center of the global stage and once again demonstrated his status as the Argentine team’s captain, scoring 8 goals, providing 4 assists, and breaking several records in every match at age
39
Beckham
’s post quickly generated a buzz and reflected the close relationship of respect and admiration that exists between
him and Messi
—two figures who are now part of the same project at Inter Miami and who continue to leave their mark on soccer history.
Meanwhile,
Inter Miami
is expected to return to action on
Wednesday
,
July 22, at Nu Stadium
when it hosts the
Chicago Fire
in an MLS match, a game in which Polish forward
Robert Lewandowski
is expected to make his debut.
