Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham was left in stitches on the sideline at the antics of Lionel Messi‘s sons during a rain delay.
The MLS club’s Leagues Club clash against Orlando City was delayed by an hour-and-a-half by thunder and lightning in the area.
As the rain poured down most spectators took shelter in the stadium but it appears after the downpour eased up, Messi’s sons headed back out into the stands in preparation to watch their dad tear it up on the field once again.
After the torrential rain, DRV PNK Stadium was decidedly soggy and the 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren appeared to entertain themselves by throwing soaked items on to the field.
Messi’s oldest two sons Matteo and Thiago were spotted pitchside in Inter Miami jerseys with their dad’s No. 10 on the back.

They were joined by one of Sergio Busquet’s sons, who donned a jersey with No. 5 and ‘Papi’ for the former Barcelona star.
Beckham watched on laughing at their antics before going in for a high-five with one of the little troublemakers.
But the former Manchester United star had to jokingly leap back in shock as they waved a rain-soaked flag in his face.
The little prank sprayed the England soccer legend in the face, while his daughter Harper, turned away to dodge the blast.
Beckham didn’t seem to mind as he continued beaming at the mischief.
He has been in attendance at DRV PNK Stadium for Messi’s first three games for Inter Miami.
He watched on from the stands for Messi’s first two games with wife Victoria, and they were joined Wednesday night by their daughter and youngest 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥 Harper.
Beckham and Messi appear to have a close relationship with the former England soccer star recently claiming that bringing Messi to Inter Miami was one of the best moments of his life.

‘I never thought I would have the same feeling as an owner as I had when I was a player,’ Beckham told The Athletic.
‘When I got the phone call (to confirm Messi was joining), I had the feeling I had when I walked out at Old Trafford or Wembley. I was like, “We’ve just beaten all competition to sign the greatest player to ever play our game”.
‘This will be up there with the biggest moves in American sporting history.’
When asked if it was one of the best moments of his life, Beckham responded: ‘Without a doubt’.
