Inter Miami’s 3-1 MLS Cup victory capped an 11-year journey for owner David Beckham, with Lionel Messi playing a key role, but eldest son Brooklyn was missing from family celebrations\"WhileWhile his family rejoiced on the pitch and in the owner’s box, Brooklyn was nowehere to be seen(Image: ISI Photos via Getty Images)<\/p>\n

David Beckham’s<\/a> decade-long dream for Inter Miami to conquer American football finally came true when the club clinched the MLS Cup on Saturday, marking a milestone that the owner has been striving for since February 2014.<\/p>\n

That was the day Major League Soccer<\/a> revealed Beckham had exercised his option to buy an expansion franchise for $25 million, initiating a project that would metamorphose Miami into one of the league’s most globally recognised brands.<\/p>\n

This weekend’s triumph, a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps, culminated in Beckham making a spot-on remark about Lionel Messi<\/a>. This marked the end of an 11-year journey since Beckham first exercised his $25 million option to purchase an MLS expansion team and symbolised the pinnacle of Beckham’s career post-retirement from playing.<\/p>\n

With Messi masterminding crucial moments from midfield and assisting multiple goals, Inter Miami completed its lengthy ascent from league newcomer to MLS champion.<\/p>\n

The symmetry was perfect: Messi, who altered the course of the club when he joined in 2023, played a pivotal role in the final, while Beckham, the league’s original global icon, now stood as a victorious owner, reports the Mirror US<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Miami’s win followed earlier trophies under Messi, including a Leagues Cup, Supporters’ Shield and Eastern Conference title, but this was the trophy Beckham coveted the most.<\/p>\n

The celebratory snaps were just as many had anticipated: Beckham hoisting the trophy high, with Victoria Beckham<\/a> standing proudly by his side, accompanied by their sons Romeo and Cruz and daughter Harper.<\/p>\n

The ex-Spice Girl appeared moved, and the couple posed together, their smiles reflecting the personal significance of this moment after over a decade of investment, negotiation, and public scrutiny.<\/p>\n

However, there was an uncomfortable undercurrent. Their eldest son, Brooklyn, was absent once again, as he has been in several recent public Beckham family moments.<\/p>\n

While his family rejoiced on the pitch and in the owner’s box, Brooklyn instead shared a cooking video on Instagram<\/a>, demonstrating how to make French onion soup.<\/p>\n

This mirrors previous no-shows, including his absence from his father’s knighthood ceremony and missing Beckham’s recent significant birthday celebration.<\/p>\n

His continued absence is fuelling rumours of familial tension. Reports of a rift involving Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz<\/a>, have been swirling for months, and public appearances together have been noticeably scarce.<\/p>\n

Even when Cruz recently shared a throwback photo of himself with his brothers and father, Brooklyn still did not publicly join the family on this milestone night.<\/p>\n
