David Beckham was left in tears with Victoria by his side after Lionel Messi scored a winner for his US football team Inter Miami in front of stars including Kim Kardashian and LeBron James.

The Argentine curled a stunning free-kick into the top left corner in the 94th minute to avoid the matchup against Cruz Azul going to penalties – after being subbed on in the 54th minute.

Fans erupted into cheers after the game-changing goal in the Leagues Cup, with Kim Kardashian, LeBron James, Serena Williams and the Beckham children Harper and Cruz all on the edges of their seats.

Kardashian posed with Victoria and David Beckham, alongside her son, Saint. Speaking to Apple TV pregame, she said her son was the driving force for her attendance.

‘All summer we’re going to different exhibition games,’ she said. ‘I played soccer for five or six years. I was goalie – and center-forward – I wasn’t bad, you know!

‘I loved it, so I’m happy that my boy loves it – and that we can come. They’re excited and that just makes me so excited.

‘I’m happy to be here with Victoria, David and everyone. It’s going to be such a fun game.’

Kardashian was asked if Saint has a favorite player, to which she replied that it was Inter Miami’s No. 10 and that he was ‘so excited.’

Tennis champion and longtime Floridian favorite, Serena Williams, joined her fellow celebrities at the game vs. the Mexican club and was seen enjoying Kim K’s company.

NBA icon LeBron James was also pictured inside DRV PNK Stadium, sporting a bucket hat and a white fit.

He was able to share an embrace with Messi prior to the national anthem. James’s eldest son, and USC basketball commit, Bronny James was in tow with his famous father.

David Beckham said after the match on Apple’s MLS Season Pᴀss: ‘To be honest, as soon as I saw the free kick given, I thought, ‘This is the way it’s meant to end.’

‘Especially when you’ve got players like Leo and Sergio [Busquets] on the pitch – that’s what they produce.

‘It’s so exciting tonight for our fans,’ he continued. ‘All of these people, that have come down here to see Leo just step on the pitch – let alone just do what he’s done. Honestly Sergio’s performance was incredible.

‘But you know it’s a dream come true for everybody in this stadium to see, and everybody around this country to see Leo step into the MLS and perform. I don’t have many words for that.’

The A-list audience also included the likes of Los Angeles Lakers player LeBron James

Beckham – no stranger to a late free-kick himself – last played professionally in 2013 as he wrapped up a gilded career with PSG.

And he found the experience of helplessly watching the Leagues Cup match from the stands to be difficult before Messi’s winner.

‘It’s terrible… watching these games it’s so – as an ex-player you get frustrated. As a player you can do something about it if you’re losing, when you’re an owner you can’t,’ he said.

The global superstar scored on a free kick from about 25 yards in the 94th minute

‘But tonight is about the people. It’s about this. This is what we always saw as our vision, me and Jorge and Jose, and the club.

‘This is what we saw. So this is such a special night for us, for our fan, for everyone that’s in this stadium, for you guys. It is such a moment for this country. It is such a moment for this league. And it’s a very proud moment for us.’
