On Sunday night, David Beckham was watching Lionel Messi strike another incredible free-kick for MLS team Inter Miami from the stands, and a fan captured his reaction on camera.

Messi, a seven-time winner of the Ballon d’Or, and Inter Miami had another memorable night when he defeated FC Dallas in the Leagues Cup over all odds.

The 36-year-old forward has so far netted two goals against Atlanta United, two goals in a 3-1 win over Orlando City, and a 94th-minute free kick against Cruz Azul on his debut.

The World Cup winner then added a second brace against FC Dallas on Sunday night to his already outstanding total.

In the sixth minute, Messi gave Inter Miami the lead when he pounced on a ball from Jordi Alba and sent a left-footed shot into the bottom corner. How often have we seen him act in this manner?

After a more frantic scoreboard back-and-forth, Messi scored another amazing free-kick to square the game at 4-4 and force overtime and penalties.

The former forward for Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain maneuvered the ball over the wall from the tightest of angles before putting it in the top right corner of the goal.

Few goalkeepers in world football could have stopped this strike, despite Maarten Paes’ best efforts in the Dallas goal to get a fingertip on it.

David Beckham, a co-owner of Inter Miami, was subsequently spotted celebrating with his family in the stands as Messi and his colleagues sprinted toward the goal.

Even he seems surprised by what was happening.

“I turn to Jorge, Lionel Messi’s father, and declare, “One day, Messi must join our team. I believe that was when we first met. Those were ten years ago. So, it was constantly in my thoughts.

In September of this year, Beckham met up with the two in Barcelona undercover.

Beckham said, “We boarded a jet and traveled from London to Barcelona covertly.

“We broke into a hotel, met Jorge Messi, the agent, and father of Lionel, and struck up a conversation. We would love for your son to play on our squad someday, was the only message. Leo would love to visit Miami someday, but we understand that he cannot do so right now.

Jorge (Mas) “then obviously did an incredible job creating a narrative around what he could do for the sport in this country, what he could do for MLS, and what he could do for Inter Miami.”

In the end, Inter Miami defeated FC Dallas 5-3 on penalties to win the Leagues Cup match, with Lionel Messi converting his spot-kick with ease.
