Former footballer, entrepreneur, and philanthropist David Beckham declared in London on Monday that, in his opinion, Lionel Messi is "the best player in the world" and also "the greatest of all time."

Praise for Messi and His Impact at Inter Miami

During a Q&A session in the British capital, hosted by Netflix at the MIP audiovisual trade fair, the Inter Miami founder shared stories about his life and his wife, designer Victoria Beckham.

Beckham has frequently praised Messi, who played for FC Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain, and was his marquee signing to elevate Inter Miami on the global football stage. Since the Argentine superstar's arrival in July 2023, the former Real Madrid and Manchester United player has not held back in his admiration for him.

His Cities and Football Legacy

Beckham stated that London remains his home, though he also feels a deep connection to Manchester, where he shined under Sir Alex Ferguson at United, and Miami, his new home and the base of the club he co-founded. During his career, Beckham won numerous titles, including the Champions League, the Intercontinental Cup, six Premier League titles with Manchester United, and a LaLiga title with Real Madrid.
