Inter Miami CF continues to make headlines not just for its gameplay, but for the high-profile names it attracts. During a recent game at DRV PNK Chase Stadium, soccer icon David Beckham and NFL legend Tom Brady posed with Lionel Messi after Inter Miami secured a 2-0 victory over FC Cincinnati to clinch a playoff spot (making Miami the third-fastest team in MLS history to achieve that milestone).

In an Instagram post shared by Beckham that has since garnered 1.3 million likes, the three superstars are captured standing side by side, smiling for the camera. Beckham, a co-owner of Inter Miami, played a pivotal role in bringing Messi to the Magic City – a move that has turned the South Florida club into a focal point of international sports attention.

“THE GREATEST ðŸ ðŸ doesn’t get any better 🩷🩷 @leomessi @tombrady to watch us go into the playoffs  @intermiamicf 🇦🇷 & 🇺🇸 xx,” Beckham captioned his post, expressing his excitement for the club’s playoff push and celebrating the convergence of greatness on the field.

Adding to the excitement, Inter Miami CF shared a reel on Instagram, capturing a special moment from the field. The video shows Brady holding up a personalized Inter Miami jersey with his name and “12” emblazoned on it, posing alongside Beckham.

“Pink always suits ðŸ ðŸˆ,” Inter Miami CF captioned the reel, to which Brady replied in the comments with heart emojis.
