On Sunday night, David Beckham was watching Lionel Messi strike another incredible free-kick for MLS team Inter Miami from the stands, and an admirer captured his reaction on camera.
Messi, a seven-time winner of the Ballon d'Or, and Inter Miami had another memorable night when he defeated FC Dallas in the Leagues Cup over all odds.
The 36-year-old attacker has thus far scored two goals against Atlanta United, two goals in a 3-1 win over Orlando City, and a free kick in the 94th minute of his debut against Cruz Azul. The World Cup winner subsequently added a second double against FC Dallas on Sunday night to his already outstanding total.
The former attacker for Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain manoeuvred the ball over the wall from the narrowest of angles before putting it in the top right corner of the goal. Lionel Messi easily buried his penalty kick as Inter Miami defeated FC Dallas 5-3 on penalties in their Leagues Cup match.
Even he seems surprised by what was happening. See his response in the video below.
