Harper Beckham got her big moment in the spotlight after she stepped on to the football field with arguably the greatest player in history.
Friday's Inter Miami match turned into a heartwarming family affair as Harper Beckham, the 12-year-old daughter of Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham and Victoria Beckham, took center stage alongside football sensation Lionel Messi. The young Beckham stepped onto the field with Messi before the semifinal clash against Charlotte in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
A memorable entrance
Just moments before the kickoff, a touching sight unfolded as all the Inter Miami players, including Harper, walked onto the field hand in hand with children. Harper and Messi led this heartwarming procession, showcasing a bond that transcends the boundaries of age and fame. Dressed in a black league cup T-shirt and exuding radiant enthusiasm, Harper's presence added a unique touch to the occasion.
David Beckham, the former Manchester United star, shared a heartfelt tribute to his daughter's spirited involvement. He posted a photo on Instagram, capturing the magical moment of Harper and Messi side by side, with the caption: 'Making people smile in Miami & and all around the USA 🇺🇸 + 🌎 @leomessi 🩷🖤 My beautiful girl #HarperSeven 🩷🖤 The most beautiful smile 🩷,'
Victoria captioned a post of Harper and Messi before and after they walked out onto the field together: 'Another great win last night in Miami!!! Special moment for Harper waking out with @leomessi kisses xxxx Victoria.'
Harper's most recent appearance occurred during an Inter Miami match when she accompanied her mother and 18-year-old brother, Cruz, to show their support for their father at the Inter Miami game against Cruz Azul on July 21.
Messi is simply unstoppable
Lionel Messi's arrival at Inter Miami has ignited a goal-scoring frenzy that shows no signs of slowing down. In a span of five matches for the MLS club backed by David Beckham, Messi has achieved an impressive tally of nine goals and three assists. Notably, the club maintains an impeccable record of six wins, zero draws, and zero losses in the games where Messi has taken part, as per Fox News.
In the Leagues Cup semi-final clash against the Philadelphia Union, Messi once again showcased his extraordinary skill by unleashing a stunning 30-yard strike that left spectators in awe. This remarkable goal not only secured Inter Miami's victory but also marked another milestone in Messi's illustrious career.
As per The Guardian, Messi's incredible feat ranks as the second-longest goal of his career, falling short only of a memorable 2012 free-kick for Barcelona against Mallorca. As Messi continues to dazzle on the field, Inter Miami thrives under his leadership.
With Inter Miami advancing to the final against Nashville, Messi's legacy as a goal-scoring maestro remains firmly intact, and fans around the world eagerly anticipate his next spectacular moment on the field.
