Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham appeared to avoid celebrating after Lionel Messi’s dramatic equalizer against his former club LA Galaxy.
Messi rescued a point for Inter Miami on Sunday night, scoring in stoppage time as Tata Martino’s team came back to draw 1-1 at Dignity Health Sports Park.
The goal ensured Miami maintained its undefeated start to the 2024 MLS season in front of a star-studded crowd in California.
Beckham was watching from a suite on Sunday night, alongside his children Brooklyn, 24, and Cruz, 19, as well as Hollywood stars Liv Tyler and Edward Norton.
After Messi converted a Jordi Alba putback, Beckham’s box erupted with excitement, with those around the Miami co-owner standing, celebrating among themselves.
