It’s very special to say he’s a Miami player and he’s in our city. He’ll celebrate this with his teammates and his family in his way,” said Beckham to media outlet Hola! . “We’ll do our best to celebrate it in the Miami way. I’m sure we can do a good party.”

Messi and Beckham’s friendship extends back years, and the two have always been admirers of one another. Looking back, Messi’s transfer to Miami seemed to have been written in the stars, with Beckham playing a key role in making it happen. Beckham opted to retire in the United States after a successful career in Europe, which led to him working with Inter Miami CF in 2018. The event was meaningful, and it attracted compliments from several sports personalities, including Messi himself.
