Stars were on display as Lionel Messi’s Inter Miami side progressed to the semi-finals of the Leagues Cup on Friday night.
Before the game started, Messi was escorted onto the pitch by David Beckham’s daughter Harper.
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 scored the final goal in a 4-0 win over Charlotte to seal the birth of the semi-final
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.
Finally, in these quarter-finals, Messi put the game away by scoring the fourth and final goal of the night.
Inter Miami now meets the Philadelphia Union in the semifinals.
