Interestingly, Lionel Messi also clinched record numbers for Miami, but it seems that still isn’t enough.

Likewise, ever since he kept his foot in Florida, a lot of developments have unfolded. But it may still come as a surprise that David Beckham’s club has been triumphed over by a $95 million worth Mexican team.
