David Beckham snubs title-winning game of his son for Real Madrid

Romeo Beckham has been playing for the B-team of the English side Brentford. He is on loan from Inter Miami for the last five months. Brentford U-21 beat Blackburn U-21 in the Premier League Cup final on Tuesday night. Romeo was the unused sub in the game but managed to win the first trophy of his professional career. Meanwhile, his dad and brother Cruz had other plans.

David Beckham and Cruz Beckham were spotted at Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, the same day Romeo won the trophy. Romeo started his soccer journey with Arsenal in 2014. However, he was released after the 2014-15 season, with Romeo opting to play tennis. However, after five years, he again wanted to reignite his soccer journey and joined Inter Miami II, which plays in the USL League One.

It is a reserve side of the MLS franchise owned by his dad, David Beckham. He is on a six-month loan with the reserve side of Brentford. Many thought it was a publicity stunt by the English club. However, the club manager and director insisted it wasn’t any PR stunt. They signed Romeo purely for soccer reasons. Whether Romeo has a significant career in soccer remains to be seen.
