David Beckham and Lionel Messi met at the same club. The Englishman is one of the individuals managing Inter Miami, where Lionel Messi chose to join in 2023. In the United States, the captain of the Argentine national team is preparing for the 2026 World Cup, which the USA, Canada, and Mexico will host.

David Beckham discussed his collaboration with Lionel Messi in an interview with Rio Ferdinand for the ESPN TV channel. The Englishman shared a previously unknown story about an encounter with the Argentine, which took place early in the day during Inter Miami's training camp.

The first day he arrived at 6:50 in the morning. There was nobody at the training facility apart from the guy who let him in, recounted David Beckham.

Inter Miami's training was scheduled for 10:00, giving Lionel Messi over three hours to spare. When he met David Beckham, he told the former England player about his preparations for the session with the rest of the team.

He went to warm up in the gym. He did everything one might expect from a young footballer. Considering everything Leo has accomplished in his career, I was surprised. If I had to describe him in one word, it would be "winner". He remains hungry for more victories, even though he has already achieved so much, said David Beckham.

In 2022, Lionel Messi fulfilled his dream of leading the Argentine national team to a World Cup victory. He has one more World Cup ahead of him, and replicating this success would be a tremendous accomplishment. The golden generation of the Albicelestes also secured titles in the last two Copa America tournaments.
