David Beckham recently participated in a commentary program about the Champions League on CBS Sports (USA).

"This game in Miami was spectacular. We played against a great team like Los Angeles FC. The big stars stepped up, and that's why we were able to advance. Messi, Suarez, Busquets and Jordi Alba played a great and emotional game. Now we face Vancouver Whitecaps FC in the semi-finals, and it will be a difficult game because they are in great form.

"It's a tough competition, a bit like the Champions League in Europe. Every club wants to win it, because you want to be recognized. There are tough games and tough opponents. But we're always excited," David Beckham said when asked about Inter Miami's journey at the CONCACAF Champions Cup 2025.

Inter Miami, after losing 0-1 in the first leg against Los Angeles FC, continued to be behind 1-0 in the second leg at home. But thanks to the brilliance of Messi when scoring two goals, along with 1 goal from Federico Redondo, they won 3-1 (3-2 on aggregate) to enter the semi-finals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup.

In particular, the decisive goal that helped Inter Miami advance was scored by Messi in the 85th minute from the 11m mark against veteran goalkeeper Hugo Lloris. Outside the field, Mr. David Beckham and his business partner, billionaire Jorge Mas, excitedly waved their arms in celebration. The image created quite a stir in the American press on April 10.

According to Mr. David Beckham: "Our goal is very clear, to seek the third championship in the history of the team, after 2 championships of the Leagues Cup and Supporters' Shield. CONCACAF Champions Cup is a great opportunity to do this, although it is really not easy. Inter Miami's reaching the semi-finals of this tournament is a historical achievement, winning the championship is another matter. But we have great confidence".

Father and son face off in Champions League

David Beckham's most heavily supported team in the Champions League, Real Madrid, was eliminated by Arsenal in the quarter-finals. Before that, AC Milan also left the game in the play-off round. Now only PSG is left in the semi-finals. These are the teams that the former English player played for after leaving MU.

PSG will face Arsenal. Coincidentally, Arsenal is the team his son Romeo Beckham is a huge fan of and is a loyal fan of. Romeo Beckham spent time training with Arsenal's youth team and pursued a professional football career at Brentford before deciding to retire at the age of 22 to pursue a modelling career.

"To be honest, in both games, Arsenal deserved to win against Real Madrid (3-0 and 2-1). I thought it was a perfect performance from Arsenal - great individual performance, great team performance, and obviously great management from Mikel Arteta, so they deserved to win," said David Beckham about the quarter-final match between Real Madrid and Arsenal.

"If Arsenal continue to beat PSG and reach the final, I think it will be a very special event for this club, for Mikel Arteta and the players. For me personally, you know who will support which team, in the upcoming semi-final match. I know my son watches every minute of Arsenal's matches, so I also hope they do well in the Champions League. We always want English teams to do well. This is a very special tournament," David Beckham added.
