Retired English footballer David Beckham grew emotional as Lionel Messi won the game for Inter Miami with a stunning goal in the last minute. The video of Beckham went viral on social media as the co-owner of Inter Miami tried his best to control his tears and looked away in the process.

The veteran Argentinian player broke the 1-1 deadlock in the 94th minute of the game by scoring a goal via a free kick, finding the net directly. It resulted in a 2-1 victory over Mexican side Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup. It's worth noting that Inter last won a game in May as Messi's arrival arrested their losing streak in style.

"I knew that I had to score" - Lionel Messi

Following the 2-1 victory, Messi spoke to Apple TV+ in Spanish, stating that he left himself with no option but to score a goal.

"What I saw was the goal. I saw the goal. I knew that I had to score. It was the last play of the game and I wanted to score so we didn’t go to penalties."

After plenty of speculation, Messi decided to join Inter Miami and turned down a return to Barcelona FC after opting out of Paris Saint-German, having spent a couple of years. The value of the contract in monetary terms is likely between $125 million and $150 million.
