Lionel Messi, David Beckham, and their spouses went to a very special restaurant in Miami to celebrate the incredible start of the Argentine’s Major League Soccer (MLS) career.
Messi signed a contract with Inter Miami after departing Paris Saint-Germain, collaborating with the team’s owner, David Beckham. In addition, Beckham manages the team. In the last minute of the Leagues Cup match, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner made a spectacular entrance by scoring a signature free kick to defeat Cruz Azul.
A few days later, he made his first appearance on the field, scoring two goals in the first half to help the team defeat Atlanta United 4-0. Messi and Beckham, who also shares ownership of the team, were seen celebrating in public after the event.

At the luxurious Gekko restaurant in Miami, Lionel Messi and David Beckham enjoyed a meal alongside newly signed Sergio Busquets, his wife Elena Galera, and Jorge Mas, a co-owner of Inter Miami. Gekko, known for its East Asian-inspired steakhouse menu, has become a popular spot for celebrities, including Messi and Beckham, who have dined there with their wives, Antonela and Victoria.
One standout item on Gekko’s menu is the impressive 42-ounce A5 Bone-in Ribeye from Kagoshima, Mizusako, priced at an astonishing $1,200 (£940). With sides, the total cost can easily exceed a thousand pounds. In addition to its renowned steaks, the restaurant offers a variety of sushi, cocktails, and shared platters, all set within a stylish, contemporary interior that draws inspiration from Japanese culture.
Messi has expressed that the lifestyle in Florida significantly influenced his decision to join Major League Soccer, stating, “After winning the World Cup and not being able to go to Barça, it was time to go to the United States League to live football differently.” This move marks a new chapter in his career, allowing him to experience the game in a fresh environment.

“I want to enjoy it more every single day.” Naturally, with the same amounts of accountability and the same level of motivation to succeed and consistently do well in all that they do. However, in a more composed manner. Furthermore, he has surely been enjoying himself after dining at one of the city’s greatest restaurants.
Messi’s inaugural game was played at the DRV PNK Stadium the previous Friday, and many A-list celebrities attended. Following the game, they dined at a Miami restaurant. The reality sensation Kim Kardashian and NBA free agent Tristan Thompson were among the many individuals in attendance at Gekko.
