David Beckham and Lionel Messi’s MLS celebrations have been revealed, with the post-match party producing an amusing contrast in enthusiasm among those present.<\/p>\n

At the afterparty, club co-owner David Beckham was grinning broadly as he led a conga line with several players trailing behind him.<\/p>\n

However, star forward Lionel Messi and fellow Argentine Rodrigo De Paul cut notably awkward figures as they danced.<\/p>\n

Neither player placed their arms on the shoulders of the person ahead of them.<\/p>\n

Fans noted both appeared somewhat disengaged from the festivities.<\/p>\n

While Beckham radiated joy throughout the celebration, the two Argentine internationals seemed far less invested in the traditional party dance.<\/p>\n

Supporters watching the footage were quick to point out Messi’s apparent reluctance to engage with the festivities.<\/p>\n

One fan observed the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner appeared completely out of place.<\/p>\n

Another added: “Messi has been part of too many congas. He just wants to go home to bed.”<\/p>\n

A third observer wrote on social media: “Messi looks the least enthusiastic there.”<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most cutting remark came from a fan who noted: “He looks like he was forced to attend.”<\/p>\n

The comments reflected a widespread perception that the Argentine superstar was merely going through the motions at the party.<\/p>\n

The victory over Vancouver Whitecaps secured Inter Miami’s first domestic championship, with the Florida side prevailing 3-1 in the final.<\/p>\n

Messi was instrumental in the triumph, providing the assist for De Paul’s goal after dispossessing Andr\u00e9s Cubas and threading his compatriot through on goal.<\/p>\n

The 38-year-old then delivered a sublime volleyed pass to set up Tadeo Allende’s stoppage-time strike that sparked wild celebrations.<\/p>\n

An own goal from Edier Ocampo had given Miami an early lead before Ali Ahmed equalised for the Canadian side.<\/p>\n

The MLS Cup represented the 30th major honour of Messi’s extraordinary career, adding to his remarkable collection of silverware.<\/p>\n

Beckham watched the historic victory unfold from the directors’ box alongside his wife Victoria, who attended in an elegant grey suit ensemble with matching waistcoat and trousers.<\/p>\n

The couple’s sons, Romeo and Cruz, joined the celebrations, posing with the MLS Cup trophy on the pitch after the final whistle.<\/p>\n

Brooklyn, however, was notably absent from the family gathering in Florida.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"David Beckham and Lionel Messi’s MLS celebrations have been revealed, with the post-match party producing an amusing contrast…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":304863,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,830,6871,96,218,50,2331,217,56,54,55,741,1384],"class_list":{"0":"post-304862","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-celebrities","9":"tag-celebrity","10":"tag-david-beckham","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-news","14":"tag-sgg","15":"tag-sport","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom","18":"tag-unitedkingdom","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-us-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=304862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/304862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/304863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=304862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=304862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=304862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
