Beckham would have been pleased with the way he bent a 25-yard free kick over the defense and into the goal. Becks, 48, lost control of his emotions and began to cry; his wife Victoria was there to comfort him.
Along with his older brother Brooklyn, Harper, who was present to experience the magic, was also hugged by the man. The former England captain then gave his co-owner Jorge Mas a high five while both of them were still in shock over what they had just seen.
As the crowd went wild, Messi, 36, sprinted away in celebration with a joyful expression on his face. Before beginning a lap of honor, he hugged Sergio Busquets, an old friend from Barcelona who was also making his Miami debut.
Lebron James and Serena Williams, two A-list celebrities who had come to see Messi, were also astounded. Reality TV star Kim Kardashian and her seven-year-old son Saint, who was wearing a Messi shirt, kept Williams company.
During the pre-game event, the influencer spoke with Apple TV and revealed that Saint had encouraged her to attend.
