David Beckham has always been one of soccer’s great gallants and, for that reason, he has attracted the eyes of many fans throughout his career.

Although he has been married for 24 years, his wife, Victoria Beckham, is not indifferent to possible threats.

Her name recently went viral on social media because of video of the moment when Beckham greeted Antonela Roccuzzo, the wife of Lionel Messi, with a hug that fans didn’t think pleased the former Spice Girls singer.

The viral moment between Antonela Roccuzzo, David Beckham and Victoria Beckham

At an Inter Miami match at the DRV PNK Stadium, the Englishman, who is co-owner of the club, saw Messi‘s partner at the edge of the field and went to greet her with a warm embrace.

Later, Victoria Beckham went to greet the Argentine as well, though her facial expression caught the attention of social media users.

For some, Posh Spice’s face indicated that she was not happy with what had happened seconds before.

“The face Victoria Beckham makes after Antonela hugs David and greets her, how threatened a Brit feels from a Latina even if Antonela literally has her HUSBAND playing for Victoria‘s husband’s team,” commented one user.

Inter Miami went on to lose the game 1-0 to Charlotte FC via a 13th minute goal from Kerwin Vargas.

The result means that the Floridian side finished 14th in MLS’ Eastern Conference, six points adrift of Chicago Fire after 34 games.

Not the first time David Beckham and Antonela have gone viral

This isn’t the first time there has been a viral moment involved David Beckham and Antonela Roccuzzo.

In early October, Inter Miami took on New York City in Florida and what caught the attention of social media users was what happened minutes before the match kicked off.

In the VIP box, Antonela was chatting with Elena Galera and Romarey Ventura, the wives of Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba, respectively.

At that moment, David Beckham arrived to greet them and Antonela stopped chatting and smiled, while raising her eyebrows to Romarey.

That was a gesture that also quickly went viral on social media.
