Inter Miami co-owner left speechless by Messi’s heroics | KickOff
Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham admits he was almost left speechless by Lionel Messi’s moment of brilliance on debut for the club.
The seven-time Ballon d’Or winner announced himself to the Miami fans in superb style by scoring the winning goal with 91st minute free-kick against Cruz Azul.
The goal also helped the MLS side end their six-game winless run across all competitions and Beckham says he knew something would happen Messi stepped up for the free-kick.

“To be honest, as soon as I saw the free kick given, I thought, ‘This is the way it’s meant to end’,” Beckham told MLS Season Pass.
“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. 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.”

Miami Police lieutenant arrested on domestic violence charge
A Miami Police lieutenant has been arrested on a domestic violence charge after he allegedly spit at and slapped his wife.
Lt. Thomas L. Carroll, 47, was arrested Saturday on a battery – domestic violence charge, an arrest report said.
According to the report, Carroll and his wife were involved in an argument when Carroll allegedly spit at her around 10 times.
He also allegedly slapped her twice in the face, the report said.
The wife ran out of the house and called police. The report said she didn’t have visible injuries but added that two witnesses corroborated her allegations.
Thomas was booked into jail and later released. Attorney information wasn’t available.
In a statement, Assistant Chief of Police Armando Aguilar said Carroll was relieved of duty pending further investigation.
“The Miami Police Department is committed to serving victims of domestic violence and holding the perpetrators of such crimes accountable for their actions. When acts of domestic violence are perpetrated by law enforcement officers, they are especially disheartening, as they represent a breach of the sacred trust placed in us by the people we serve,” Aguilar said in a statement. “We wish to thank the victim and witnesses in this case for coming forward. We are committed to ensuring that a thorough investigation is conducted and that the victim receives all necessary support throughout this process.”
Aguilar said Carroll was at one point an assistant chief of police but has been a lieutenant in the field operations division since 2023.
