Former Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane recently attended an Inter Miami match, hosted by his former teammate David Beckham. The game was highly anticipated as Lionel Messi was expected to play, but unfortunately, he had to sit out due to ιnjury. Zidane and Beckham shared a warm reunion at the DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, exchanging greetings and engaging in conversation before the match.
Despite Messi’s absence, Inter Miami faced Houston Dynamo in the US Open Cup Final but suffered a disappointing 2-1 loss. After the match, Zidane and Beckham posed for photos together, joined by Messi. Zidane was also seen deep in discussion with Jorge Mas, one of the co-owners of Inter Miami.
Zidane’s presence at the Inter Miami match adds to the list of sporting icons who have attended the team’s games since Messi’s move to the United States. Previously, stars like LeBron James, Serena Williams, and Magic Johnson have made the trip to see Messi in action for the MLS side.
It was a bittersweet trip for Zinedine Zidane as he had hoped to witness Lionel Messi’s performance on the field, but the Argentine superstar’s ιnjury prevented him from playing. Nonetheless, Zidane enjoyed reconnecting with his former Real Madrid teammate Beckham and supporting Inter Miami, despite the team’s unfortunate loss in the US Open Cup Final.
