YouTube and Twitch star IShowSpeed became an instant Lionel Messi superfan after the Argentine star scored a brilliant last-minute winner for Inter Miami vs Cruz Azul on his debut.Having left French champions Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season, Messi turned down a number of lucrative offers from various countries to sign for the Florida-based side.A 20,000-capacity crowd showed up in force to watch the seven-time Ballon d'Or on his debut, not least A-list celebrities such as LeBron James, Serena Williams and Kim Kardashian.In front of a party atmosphere, Messi duly delivered and produced another moment of magic that had fans inside the DRV PNK Stadium in awe, including Speed.

Inter Miami won the race to sign Lionel Messi this summer.The Argentine forward was available on a free transfer after his contract at Paris Saint-Germain expired.Messi was the subject of strong interest from Barcelona and from Saudi Arabia but he opted to join David Beckham's Major League Soccer franchise.He was officially presented as an Inter Miami player on Sunday evening.

After much anticipation, Lionel Messi was finally unveiled as an Inter Miami player on Sunday evening.The 36-year-old was pictured beaming as he soaked in the adulation of a packed crowd at the DRV PNK Stadium, but one expert has claimed that the player may not have been quite as happy as he seemed.Messi turned down a mega-money approach from the Saudi Pro League in order to make the move to the MLS - where he has become the biggest signing since Inter Miami owner David Beckham joined LA Galaxy in 2007.The move marks the end of a glorious run in European football for the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner.17 successful years as part of the Barcelona first team were then followed by two seasons with French side Paris Saint-Germain.Messi ended up with quite the trophy haul during his time on the continent, winning 10 La Liga titles and 4 Champions Leagues (with Barcelona), before claiming a pair of Ligue 1 championships at PSG.The most-treasured medal in Messi's collection, however, will surely be the one he picked up after guiding Argentina to victory at the 2022 World Cup.

When it comes to the greatest goals of the Premier League era, David Beckham’s strike from the halfway line against Wimbledon in August 1996 sits alongside the very best.It’s certainly one of the most famous goals of the Premier League era - if not *the* most famous.On the opening day of the 1996-97 campaign, Manchester United’s Beckham received the ball inside his own half, spotted Neil Sullivan off his line, and launched an inch-perfect strike into the back of the net.“Take a bow, David Beckham,” Sky Sports’ legendary commentary Martin Tyler said on the day. “A goal you’ll see over and over again.”He wasn’t wrong.

A Fox presenter has claimed that David Beckham “learned to speak English” to be able to play in the MLS.Friday's episode of Fox & Friends featured a segment where the presenters looked at Lionel Messi joining Major League Soccer side Inter Miami rather than a Saudi Pro League team.Fox presenter Brian Kilmeade spoke about his doubts about Messi joining the league as the Argentine isn't able to speak English, unlike Beckham who “learned to speak” the language before his arrival to LA Galaxy.“The only thing I worry about is he doesn't speak English,” Kilmeade said on Fox & Friends.“One thing about David Beckham is he learned to speak English for us, with an accent.”

David Beckham has rattled Manchester City fans with comments he made during an interview on FA Cup final day.The former England captain, who played a key role in Manchester United’s historic 1999 treble-winning campaign, was at Wembley to watch his former club lose 2-1 to Man City on Saturday.Two goals from Ilkay Gundogan earned City their second major trophy of the season, following last month’s Premier League title triumph.Pep Guardiola’s revered side have a golden opportunity to complete the treble when they face Inter Milan in Istanbul this weekend.City are aiming to become champions of Europe for the first time in their history.
