Nigerian superstar Burna Boy, also known as Damini Ogulu, recently featured in a BOSS campaign, and his mother, Bose Ogulu, had a heartwarming reaction to it.

The Grammy-winning artist joined an impressive lineup of global icons for the new BOSS ‘IT’S FOR LIFE’ campaign, including South Korean actor Lee Jong-suk, football legend David Beckham, supermodels Naomi Campbell and Gisele Bündchen, and Italian tennis player Matteo Berrettini.

In a viral video, Burna Boy’s mother, who also serves as his manager, was spotted on the streets of Dublin, proudly watching the campaign video on a large screen featuring her son modeling for BOSS. Clearly filled with pride, she joyfully celebrated her son’s achievement and was heard jokingly questioning whether she truly gave birth to someone as successful as Burna Boy.

The BOSS campaign wardrobe centers on formal attire, reimagining classic suiting with clean, strong silhouettes. This campaign continues the brand’s ‘CorpCore’ aesthetic, introduced in 2023, which channels the sleek, refined style popularized by HBO’s “Succession” and the iconic Christian Bale “American Psycho” look.

In 2022, the Hugo Boss brand split into two labels: BOSS, which focuses on classic pieces reflecting the brand’s heritage, and Hugo, which caters to a younger audience with more fashion-forward designs and accessories.

David Beckham has acknowledged that there was a point where Barcelona’s interest in Lionel Messi had him concerned as Inter Miami vigorously pursued the Argentine icon.

Messi became available in the summer of 2023, with his contract at Paris Saint-Germain nearing its end, making him a free agent. Ultimately, Messi chose to join MLS, but not before Barcelona made a substantial effort to bring him back to his spiritual home in Catalunya, causing some apprehension for Beckham and Inter Miami.

The Manchester United legend, who made his own move to America when joining the LA Galaxy in 2007, added: “The same as with me, I see Leo’s involvement in the league a lot longer than his playing time. We are very keen to keep him to help attract players and be involved with the football development of the club and football in the US. I think that will be a lot of fun for him as it’s been for me.”

In 2024, Lionel Messi is anticipating a more enjoyable experience as Inter Miami sets its sights on major silverware. Despite being an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, Messi won’t be subjected to the same formalities expected of others. When asked if the football legend has to address him as “boss,” David Beckham responded, “Some of them call me that. But I don’t make any demands of Leo, and I don’t need to.”

Messi’s last competitive appearance in 2023 was in Argentina’s thrilling 2026 World Cup qualifying victory over Brazil at the Maracana. His return to the pitch is scheduled for Inter Miami’s pre-season ahead of the 2024 MLS campaign, with friendly matches potentially lined up against teams like Newell’s Old Boys and Cristiano Ronaldo’s Al-Nassr.

Scott McTominay has revealed that watching the new Netflix documentary about David Beckham’s life and career served as inspiration for his impressive performance in Manchester United’s recent win over Brentford.

Manchester United initially seemed headed for their seventh defeat of the 2023/24 season when Mathias Jensen scored for Brentford after some defensive lapses at Old Trafford.

However, McTominay’s introduction in the 87th minute quickly turned the game around. The Scottish international scored a stunning 93rd-minute volleyed equalizer, displaying exceptional control before finding the bottom corner of the net. He then headed home the winning goal just four minutes later.

During his post-match press conference, McTominay shared an unexpected source of inspiration for his match-winning contribution, stating that he had watched the new three-part docuseries that delves into David Beckham’s career the night before the Brentford clash.

“I was watching David Beckham’s documentary last night, and things like that inspire you,” McTominay revealed.

He went on to mention that the docuseries highlighted Beckham’s 12-year tenure at Manchester United, both in the academy and senior ranks, which reminded him of the “real culture” of the club.

Scott McTominay, like David Beckham years earlier, came through the Manchester United youth academy, initially joining the club in 2002 while Beckham was still with the team.

Since breaking into the first team in 2016, McTominay has had varying degrees of prominence in the starting lineup depending on the manager in charge.

The midfielder was a favorite of former manager Jose Mourinho, who even took over the club’s end-of-season award ceremony in 2018 to present the ‘Jose Mourinho Player of the Season’ award to McTominay—an award that hasn’t been given out since.

While McTominay continued to be a key player under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, he saw a decrease in playing time due to the arrival of Erik ten Hag. Last season, he started in just 10 Premier League matches, scoring one league goal. However, his game-changing performance against Brentford could lead to more opportunities under the Dutch coach.

The Argentine superstar had a quiet opening 60 minutes but came alive in the 70th and 97th minutes to force extra time. The Herons held their composure in the penalty shoot-out to secure a thrilling victory over Cincinnati, putting them on the verge of earning a second championship this season.

Beckham, the club’s co-owner, was overjoyed with his men’s performance and expressed his delight on social media by praising the entire team.

He wrote: “Another great night in pink. A great performance from the team to reach another final @intermiamicf very proud.”

Since joining the Florida team, Messi has been in superhuman form, and this was his ninth straight game for Inter Miami with either a goal or an assist. He is currently aiming to capture his 45th career trophy for club and country.

Messi will play in his debut MLS game on Saturday night for Inter Miami against the New York Red Bulls.

After incorporating techniques from Thor, Black Panther, and Spider-Man during his goal celebrations at Inter Miami, Lionel Messi has given an explanation.

Following his unexpected move to Florida as a free agent, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner immediately had an impression in America.

In six games of the inaugural Leagues Cup, Messi has scored nine goals, giving the Argentine legend plenty of reasons to rejoice in front of friends and family.

The Messi family is making the most of their summer vacation in America by seeing a number of blockbuster movies. His kids Ciro, Mateo, and Thiago have all played significant roles in his achievements to date.

Explaining his celebrations, and why they are now part of a publicity stunt, Messi has told reporters: “My three sons are still on vacation, have not started school yet, so every night we watch Marvel superhero movies. They came up with the idea and asked that whenever I have a game and score a goal, I do a Marvel superhero celebration. That’s how it started, and we continued that ritual. Each time we watched a new movie, we would practice a goal celebration. But I only do them for home games, when the kids are here, near me, so we can share those moments. When I see them in the stands, that is when I do them.”

In place of a “hold my beer” gesture to Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham during the match versus Atlanta United, Messi performed his first Marvel celebration by waving his arm out like the character Thor does when calling for his hammer.

The 36-year-old forward then crossed his arms over his chest as Black Panther does when finding the target in a meeting with Orlando City, before shooting webs from his wrist in Spider-Man style versus Charlotte FC.

Messi is eager to clarify that there is a more personal touch to his actions as he strives to bring immediate silverware to DRV PNK Stadium. There had been suggestions that Messi had been giving a nod to Marvel characters due to a commercial partnership between that film franchise and MLS.

When Messi left Paris Saint-Germain last month on a free transfer, he had the choice of going back to his old club Barcelona, who were working extremely hard to get him back together. However, the 36-year-old ultimately decided to take his skills to Major League Soccer.

“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, 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’.”

Beckham opened up on his long-standing dream to sign Messi, which began ten years ago and started stepping up in the past few seasons.

“It all came from a conversation over a glass of wine at dinner, Beckham recalled. “I turn to Jorge [Mas, Miami co-owner] and say, ‘One day, we need Messi to come to our club’. It was probably when we first met.

“I actually found on my phone the other day one of the first presentations that [advertising agency] Doubleday & Cartwright did – they mocked up one of the jerseys with the logo on and Leo was wearing it. That was ten years ago. So it was always in my mind. I suppose every owner of a sports franchise thinks, ‘We want to bring the best players to our club’. Does it happen for everyone? Of course not. But we were sat at dinner and we were like, ‘OK, if we could bring Leo for our market, for our fans, for this part of the world, there’s no one better’.”

Revealing a secret meeting with the superstar in Barcelona in September 2019, Beckham continued: “We got on a plane and flew to Barcelona from London secretly. We snuck into a hotel, met Jorge Messi and started the conversation.

“It purely went, ‘We would love your son to play for our team one day. We know he can’t come yet, but one day we would love to have Leo in Miami’. Then obviously Jorge did an incredible job creating a narrative around what he could do for the sport in this country, what he could do for MLS and what he could do for Inter Miami.”

Despite making a serious effort to get Messi this summer, Beckham was aware that a deal might not have been possible. The former England player recalled his disbelief when he found out that Miami had won the race.

“I was in Japan with the family and woke up at 5am because my phone kept vibrating,” he said. “My wife was like, ‘Really?! Turn your phone off!’.

“I look on my phone and I’m like, ‘What’s happened? Something’s happened!’. I put my glasses on and I’m like, ‘Leo’s coming! It’s done! He has announced it!’. My wife was like, ‘What do you mean he has announced it?’. I said, ‘He has gone on TV and said he’s coming to Inter Miami!’. I get goosebumps talking about it.

“I phoned Jorge [Mas] straight away and got emotional because I know what we’ve gone through over the last few years. Trying to build this club, the obstacles, the challenges – trying to get land, going to legal battles… for all of the problems we’ve had, this one moment changed everything. It changed our whole club. Once Victoria woke up properly, she hugged me, and that’s when I got emotional again.

“I have come in every single morning at 7.30am to just see him — to just know it’s real.”

Jude Bellingham acknowledges that after moving to Real Madrid for €103 million (£88 million/$112 million), David Beckham sent him a good luck message.

The 20-year-old midfielder has joined the ranks at Santiago Bernabeu as the most recent England international, joining a select club of Three Lions greats who have played for the Blancos.

Following his contentious split from Manchester United and before taking on an MLS challenge with the LA Galaxy, Beckham spent four years in Spain between 2003 and 2007. Beckham has given Bellingham some advice.

Bellingham, who has left Borussia Dortmund in a nine-figure transfer deal, has said of the well wishes he has received: “David Beckham messaged me briefly to wish me all the best. It is one of those moves where everyone has their input from the outside so you do hear a lot of things and advice, I am quite good at filtering out the good from the bad, so far it has been really positive from ex-players. I will try and take that on board and at some point maybe get in touch with them and see how they adapted to life in Spain.”

Bellingham insists that he is not under any pressure as he prepares to make his Real debut, although he does have a language barrier as he intensifies his Spanish lessons.

Pressed on how that process is coming along, with a learning app being used at present, the talented youngster said: “I have got it on my phone, I’ve got a good little streak going at the minute. It’s nine days since I started taking it properly seriously. It is one of those things where you hear it and you start to pick up little things and you see it on TV with interviews of other players, so it comes a bit more naturally than you think. It is a lot easier than trying to learn German at least. I did Spanish at school up to year 9, obviously, in hindsight, I would have carried it on.”

As part of an American tour, Real will play friendly matches against AC Milan, Manchester United, Barcelona, and Juventus this summer. On August 13, their 2023–24 La Liga season will begin against Athletic Club.

David Beckham has provided insight into the decision of Inter Miami to sign Lionel Messi as well as the effects a remarkable trade has already had in Florida.

After his contract with Ligue 1 powerhouses Paris Saint-Germain expired, the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner shocked the footballing world by revealing that he would be transferring to Major League Soccer as a free agent.

The Argentine superstar first seemed destined to stay in Barcelona, despite lucrative offers from the Middle East, but the 36-year-old is now getting ready to pursue his American dream.

Manchester United icon David Beckham played a role in putting the transaction together, revealing why he moved for Messi and how his phone has been ringing off the hook since the stunning coup was disclosed.

Beckham told those at the ‘Lessons in Leadership’ seminar: “A couple of weeks ago, I woke up to about a million messages on my phone. I was thinking, ‘What’s gone off? I don’t usually get this many messages.’ All of a sudden, I hear Leo has come out and announced he’s coming to Miami. Obviously, it wasn’t a surprise to me.

“I have always said, from the word go, that if I had the opportunity to bring the best players in the game to Miami, at whatever time of their careers, I would do that. I have always made that commitment to our fans. So when I hear that one of the best players — if not the best player — who has won everything in the game, who is still a great player, still young and still doing what he’s doing, wants to play for my team, it’s a massive moment for us.”

Along with being a significant shareholder in Inter Miami, Beckham also shares ownership of Salford City with other United grads from the Class of ’92.

He said when jokingly quizzed on why Messi has ended up in Miami rather than Greater Manchester: “Yes, I am part-owner of Salford City. And Salford is a great place. But, obviously, Argentina is closer to Miami than Salford. I think that was quite a pull for Leo.”

On July 21, Messi is anticipated to make his Inter Miami debut against Cruz Azul in a Leagues Cup match. A month later, Messi is scheduled to make his MLS debut against Charlotte FC at home.
