“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.”
Last season, Lionel Messi moved from PSG to play for Inter Miami in the Major League Soccer (MLS). Lionel Messi had 14 games with Inter Miami, contributing five assists and 11 goals. He was instrumental in helping Inter Miami win the Leagues Cup, the team’s first title in its short history.
