David Beckham spots wife Victoria’s reaction which sums up their feelings for each other
Inter Miami president David Beckham paid a loving tribute to wife Victoria’s comical reaction during a nail-biter of a CONCACAF Champions Cup match. With Inter Miami having lost the first leg 1-0 against Los Angeles FC, tensions were high for the home win on Wednesday as they stayed in the running.
Lionel Messi took charge with two critical goals, converting his second in the 84th minute. And those were enough to drive Inter Miami into the semi-finals of the tournament as their trophy hunt continued.
As someone who has transitioned from the pitch to the boardroom, Beckham still shows the same dedication to the game as he did playing for the likes of Manchester United or Real Madrid. This was evident in one particular snapshot showing the sports icon in full emotive display, sharply contrasting with Victoria’s cool demeanour next to him.
Stylish ‘Posh’ stood by clad in a chic cardigan and skirt ensemble, her expression calm as she witnessed her husband’s team’s performance first-hand. While David celebrated with a tattoo-laden fist pump, his wife offered simply a serene smile.
David shared his amusement at the different reactions on Instagram (via The Mirror), teasingly captioning his post with several emojis: “And they say my wife’s not into football – how dare they? Emotions were running high in the stadium last night for most of us. I love you @victoriabeckham. I know you love it really. Always by my side.”
Beckham’s jubilant reaction to overturning the deficit against LAFC and reaching the semi-finals of the Champions Cup is understandable. The Herons had been enjoying an undefeated season before their first-leg loss, but they made up for that setback with a strong performance at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.
They are now set to face Major League Soccer rivals the Vancouver Whitecaps in another two-legged matchup. Messi and his team clinched the Leagues Cup in 2023, topped the MLS’ Eastern Conference last year, and then secured the Supporters’ Shield.
Even at the age of 37, World Cup-winner Messi continues to prove his value as a key player for Inter Miami, who are managed by former team-mate Javier Mascherano. He calmly slotted Wednesday’s winning goal from the spot late on, preventing their elimination from the competition on away goals.
