In order to commemorate the remarkable beginning of the Argentine’s career in the Major League Soccer (MLS), Lionel Messi and David Beckham, along with their wives, went to a truly remarkable restaurant in Miami.
After leaving Paris Saint-Germain, Messi signed a contract with Inter Miami, joining forces with David Beckham, the owner of the club. Beckham is also the manager of the club. The seven-time winner of the Ballon d’Or made a grand entrance by hitting a signature free kick to secure a victory over Cruz Azul in the final minute of the Leagues Cup match.
His first start came just a few days later, and he scored a brace in the first half of the game, which led to an emphatic 4-0 victory over Atlanta United. Following the event, Messi and Beckham, who is also a co-owner of the franchise, were spotted celebrating in public.

At the opulent Gekko restaurant in Miami, they enjoyed their meal. Additionally, they were joined by the newly signed Sergio Busquets, his wife Elena Galera, and Jorge Mas, who is now a co-owner of the team.
The Steakhouse, which is influenced by Japanese cuisine, is a favorite destination for celebrities in the neighborhood. Messi and Beckham, along with their wives Antonela and Victoria, have been seen dining there. East Asian cuisine is Gekko’s specialty, and the restaurant is most well-known for the extensive selection of steaks it offers.
Particularly noteworthy is the fact that the menu features a 42-ounce chunk that is referred to as “A5 Bone in Ribeye, Kagoshima, Mizusako,” and it is priced at an astounding $1200 (£940). When you take into account the addition of some sides, the top-of-the-line item can cost you more than one thousand pounds.The Instagram
In addition to a wide selection of sushi, cocktails, and shared platters, the restaurant, which is located at 8 SE 8th Street in Miami, also has vast menu options. As a backdrop for its patrons, the interior is adorned with a contemporary design that is appealing to the eye and draws inspiration from Japanese culture.
Ahead of his move to the Major League Soccer, Messi disclosed that the way of life in the Sunshine State was a significant factor in his decision to play for Inter Miami. “After winning the World Cup and not being able to go to Barça, it was time to go to the United States League to live football differently,” he explained to reporters.

“I want to take pleasure in it more on a daily basis. Obviously with the same levels of responsibility and the same level of drive to win and to constantly perform well in everything. However, with a more tranquil demeanor.” Moreover, after eating at one of the best restaurants in the city, he has undoubtedly been having a good time enjoying himself.
A large number of A-list celebrities went to the game that was played at the DRV PNK Stadium on the previous Friday, which was Messi’s debut, and then they went to the restaurant in Miami after the game. There were a number of people present at Gekko, including the reality star Kim Kardashian and the NBA free agent Tristan Thompson.
During the summer of 2017, the steakhouse with a Japanese influence opened its doors to the public. Beckham, the CEO of Miami, was present at the launch together with Victoria, the wife of the Spice Girls. David Grutman, a hospitality entrepreneur, and Bad Bunny, a Puerto Rican musician, are the owners of Gekko.
