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.

But cameras showed Beckham sitting with a straight face even as Brooklyn, Cruz and those at his side toasted Messi’s goal.

Beckham spent five years as a Galaxy player between 2007 and 2012, helping the club win two MLS Cups before heading to Paris Saint-Germain.

A few hours before Sunday night’s game began, the 48-year-old was seen signing autographs, posing for photos and greeting fans of his former team.

Around him, stars from the world of sports and entertainment flocked to Dignity Health Sports Park to catch a glimpse of Messi and Miami.

Hollywood legend Halle Berry and her partner, singer-songwriter Van Hunt, were among the crowd at the MLS match, as was tennis icon Novak Djokovic.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion was seen on the sidelines before the match. So were several NFL stars, including Los Angeles Rams star Puka Nacua.

Nacua, who enjoyed a record-breaking rookie season in Los Angeles, posed for a photo alongside Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid.

Both NFL players had received custom LA Galaxy jerseys, as had Green Bay Packers cornerback Keisean Nixon.
