David Beckham, the owner of Inter Miami CF, and his wife Victoria Beckham, recently enjoyed a star-studded dinner at Miami’s Gekkō, a Japanese-inspired steakhouse and lounge. The high-profile guests included Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets, along with their respective partners Antonela Roccuzzo and Elena Galera. This exclusive gathering took place at Gekkō, a popular joint venture between Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny and renowned restaurateur David Grutman.
Victoria Beckham shared pictures from the dinner on her official Instagram account. In one of the photos, David Beckham, Sergio Busquets, and Lionel Messi can be seen smiling for the camera. The Beckham couple was joined by other notable personalities like David Grutman, Isabela Grutman, Jorge Mas, and Aleyda Mas, who are all part of the Inter Miami CF team.
In addition to the exciting dinner, there has been a significant change within the team with the arrival of Messi and Busquets. American full-back DeAndre Yedlin, who handed over his captain’s armband to Messi, praised the newcomers for seamlessly integrating themselves into the group. He mentioned that Messi and Busquets are treated just like any other player at the training ground, with no special privileges.
Yedlin added that this integration has strengthened the team’s unity and camaraderie. He even revealed that Messi gifted the entire team with new headphones in the team’s colors, showing his generosity and commitment to the group. Yedlin’s positive comments dispel any concerns about divisions forming within the club.
David Beckham, who had expressed his excitement about Messi joining Inter Miami CF, reflected on the significance of this signing. He emphasized his long-term goal of bringing world-class players to Miami and contributing to the growth of football in the United States.
Since Messi’s arrival, Inter Miami CF has gained more attention and anticipation, despite their current position at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Messi’s decision to play for the club is expected to elevate soccer’s popularity in the United States and South Florida.
