“Messi Was Our Gift to America And MLS” David Beckham Praises Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi, eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, is “our gift to America and MLS,” according to Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham, given that he “changes the game” most times. Beckham once did likewise when making his own move to the United States. The Manchester United and England legend linked up with the LA Galaxy when leaving Real Madrid in 2007.

Part of the agreement permitted the ex-Three Lions captain to establish his own expansion franchise. That idea was put together in Florida, and Messi is now the main attraction at DRV PNK Stadium. Beckham spent ten years orchestrating a remarkable coup, with the Argentine superstar helping to enhance the prestige of American soccer as more household names and new audience are drawn to the game.

Beckham has told AFP of pulling off a remarkable transfer agreement: “It’s still hard to believe that when someone turns around to me and says Inter Miami have Lionel Messi in their team, you know. It’s a very proud thing for me to have as an owner, to have a player like that, the best player in the world, in our team.

“We always knew that bringing Leo to America, not just to Miami, it was our gift to America and MLS. Because someone like that changes the game. You know, someone like that inspires another generation of soccer players. And that’s why we wanted to bring Leo to the team. Of course, we want to win championships.”

“Of course, we want to be the best team in the league. But one of the reasons why we bought him was to also inspire the next generation of soccer players in America, to want to be soccer players. So bringing him does that and it’s an important thing for us.”

Messi made immediate effect in the United States, inspiring Inter Miami to a historic League Cup victory within weeks of his arrival, and is claimed to be trying to “win everything” in 2024 despite already being a GOAT in history.
