David Beckham pays tribute to ‘beautiful’ daughter Harper as she leads Lionel Messi onto the pitch for Inter Miami’s latest win

David Beckham paid tribute to ‘beautiful’ daughter Harper on Friday night after she accompanied Lionel Messi onto the pitch for Inter Miami’s latest win.

The 12-year-old was hand-in-hand with the Argentine maestro ahead of the Leagues Cup quarter-final against Charlotte FC, a match they won 4-0.

Harper served as player escort that night, and her status as club co-founder Beckham’s youngest child no doubt helped her secure a coveted spot alongside Messi at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale.

Shortly afterwards, Beckham paid tribute on Instagram to both Harper and club talisman Messi, who scored Inter Miami’s fourth goal on Friday night.

In addition to Beckham, many other sports figures were on hand to watch Messi and Miami beat Charlotte FC 4-0 in the competition.

Baseball Hall of Famer and former Miami Marlins owner Derek Jeter was pictured speaking with Beckham before the game began.

In addition, Beckham stopped for a pre-match photo session to take a picture with Argentina’s World Cup winning manager Lionel Scaloni.

Messi started the match and stunned the crowd at the DRV PNK stadium by scoring a goal to secure the victory.

It is the eighth goal he has scored since arriving in the United States – all within five games.

On his debut against Cruz Azul, he scored a fantastic free kick to win that game.

Messi followed that up with two braces against Atlanta United and then Orlando City in the Round of 32.

The Round of 16 was arguably Messi’s best performance to date in the US – with the Argentine scoring his team’s first and fourth goals, including a laser from a free kick, to force penalties.
