David Beckham and Tom Brady Pose with Lionel Messi at Inter Miami Game: ‘The Greatest’

Three sports legends walk into a soccer game…

On Saturday, Aug. 24, David Beckham shared a photo on Instagram of himself, Leo Messi and Tom Brady posing together at the Inter Miami CF game against FC Cincinnati.

“THE GREATEST 🐐 🐐 doesn’t get any better 🩷🩷,” Beckham, 49, wrote in the post’s caption. “@leomessi @tombrady to watch us go into the playoffs @intermiamicf 🇦🇷 & 🇺🇸 xx.”

In the photo, Beckham is wearing a navy blue suit with a matching tie and a light blue button-up shirt. Meanwhile, Messi, 37, and Brady, 47, opted for more casual looks, with the Argentine soccer player wearing black shorts, a white T-shirt and olive green shoes, and Brady sporting a green shirt and ripped jeans.

The former quarterback shared the photo on his Instagram Stories the next day, writing, “I’m bringing @leomessi back to Birmingham with me.”

Beckham, who is co-owner of Inter Miami, welcomed Messi to the team last July.

“Ten years ago, I started my journey to build a new MLS team,” Beckham said at an event at the time, per ESPN. “I said then, I dreamt of bringing the best players in the world to South Florida and to the great city of Miami. Players who shared our ambition to grow soccer in this country … We are so happy that you are all here to celebrate this incredible moment.”

He continued, “So please forgive me for feeling a little bit emotional tonight. It truly is a dream come true to welcome Lionel Messi to Inter Miami … Bienvenido a La Familia.”

Messi expressed his gratitude for being a part of the team at the time. “I am very happy to have chosen to come to this city with my family, to have chosen this project, and I have no doubt that we are going to enjoy it very much,” he said in a speech at the event, per ESPN.

The soccer player has been benched since July 14, when he injured his ligament during the Copa América final, but it was recently reported by ESPN that he is expected to make his return to the field before playoffs begin in October.

Inter Miami head coach Gerardo Martino recently spoke about Messi’s healing process, saying in a recent press conference, per ESPN, “He is not training with the group. But yes, he is already out on the field and working with the physical trainers.”

Martino added, “He is developing well, it was foreseeable that he would not be with Argentina because he is not yet in a position to play, but we continue to see him develop. There is no estimate, because you are already starting to see how you feel as you add training on the field.”
