DAVID BECKHAM shared an emotional embrace with Lionel Messi after Inter Miami won their first ever MLS Cup title.
Miami beat the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-1 on a historic night for the club, which was only founded by Beckham in 2018.
The Herons went 1-0 up inside the first eight minutes through a Edier Ocampo own goal before Vancouver levelled the scores in the second half thanks to Ali Ahmed’s strike.
But Messi then turned on the style with a game-changing performance as he provided two assists to help Miami secure their cup triumph.
First he set up fellow Argentine Rodrigo de Paul for 2-1 in the 71st minute before teeing up Tadeo Allende’s stoppage time goal to add gloss to the scoreline.
As Miami celebrated on the pitch after the game, Messi and Beckham were seen hugging and exchanging words as the Barcelona legend prepared to lift the trophy on stage.
However, the partners of Miami stars arguably stole the show on the day as Beckham’s wife Victoria was seen enjoying the celebrations.
The former Spice Girls star looked glamorous as she joined Beckham in the directors box for the game wearing a grey suit jacket, with matching waistcoat and trousers.
They were also joined by children Cruz and Romeo as they posed with the MLS Cup trophy on the pitch after the game – though there was no sign of their other child Brooklyn.
Elsewhere, Inter Miami‘s contingent of former Barcelona players all celebrated their cup win with their partners too.
