Beckham stated the following about Messi earlier this season:
“There are many different reasons why I love Leo. Because he is such a good father, I adore him. He has a great personality and character, which is why I love him. He is a wonderful person.

Added he:
“He just plays the game the way he wants to. Additionally, I believe this was the previous World Cup. His performance for his team, for his nation, and winning that World Cup was, in my opinion, an incredible moment for him. Additionally, I enjoy watching players like him.”
