Because he is busy with Copa America 2024, Messi has not played for Inter Miami since mid-June 2024.

The South American Nations Championship has ended, but the team of owner Beckham continues to be without the service of El Pulga.

Young talent Yamal reunites with Messi in the Finalissima 2025 match

As is known, in the match where Argentina beat Colombia 1-0 in the Copa America 2024 final on the morning of July 15, Messi suffered an ankle injury.

Therefore, the former Barca and PSG striker had to leave the field in the 66th minute.

El Pulga cried a lot in the cabin after being forced to leave the field to make way for Nico Gonzalez.

According to TyC Sports, Messi suffered an ankle ligament injury. Luckily for El Pulga, his condition is not serious. Instead of surgery, Messi will undergo physical therapy.

Also related to Messi’s condition, according to ESPN, the captain of the Argentine national team will have to rest for about 40 days.

This is bad news for Inter Miami because El Pulga has been injured frequently since joining this American team. Since joining Inter Miami, Messi has suffered 5 different injuries.

It is even more worrying for owner Beckham’s team because they are showing signs of running out of steam after nearly 3 weeks of success. Specifically, since Messi participated in Copa America 2024, Inter Miami has won 4 consecutive matches in the US professional league.

After 4 consecutive wins, Inter Miami lost miserably to Cincinnati with a score of 1-6 on July 7. This shocking defeat caused Inter Miami to lose the top spot to Cincinnati.

An explosive new biography of the Beckhams has claimed that Victoria and David had their first sexual encounter “hours after meeting King Charles”.

The revelation was made by biographer Tom Bower in his newly-released House of Beckham, which is full of tantalising claims not only about the couple but the royal family.

Victoria, 50, allegedly made the revelation to the press when questioned about her sex life with the footballer.

“’I’m blissfully satisfied with my man,’ she said about their first sexual experience,” Bower wrote.

“It happened, she chortled, hours after meeting Prince Charles. Thereafter, she said, Beckham was ‘a total animal’ in bed.”

This was followed by the revelation that David liked his pet name “Golden Balls”, which was revealed to the entire world in an interview with Michael Parkinson.

Bower did not hold back in the new biography when discussing the Beckhams’ relationship with the royal family and attempted to provide insight into their now-soured friendship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

According to the biographer, Meghan “put on airs” around Victoria when they first met as she believed that her status as a “soon-to-be duchess” gave her a higher social standing.

This was a belief that Bower blasted as “deluded”.

He wrote: “In Meghan’s celebrity world, ranking depended on wealth and fame.

“As a seasoned operator, Meghan deluded herself that her status in the Royal family placed her above Victoria in the social pecking order.

“She was irritated to discover that the Beckhams had considerably more wealth than herself. They owned five homes, had constant access to private jets, invitations to sail on yachts and much more money. And she was soon to be a duchess.”

But despite Meghan’s alleged belief about her social standing, Bower claimed, this did not stop her from asking Victoria to gift her clothes and handbags worth thousands.

“Victoria agreed to provide a coat, dress, boots and a handbag worth £6,000 to Meghan for the Royal Family’s traditional Christmas Day parade in Sandringham,” he claimed.

But while this might have been intended to be a PR move for Victoria’s brand, Bower added that “the financial benefit was nil”.

The Independent has reached out to a representative for the Beckhams and Meghan Markle for comment.

David Beckham has sparked controversy by placing beehives along the boundary of his £12 million country mansion in Oxfordshire, allegedly as a deterrent to curious onlookers.

Locals are concerned about potential risks of swarming bees near a public footpath,

with new hives installed just 500 yards from Beckham’s existing nine hives, which he has maintained since 2021.

The former England football captain, known for his tenure at Manchester United and Real Madrid, developed an interest in beekeeping during lockdown.

Recently, he mentioned exchanging “beekeeping tips” with King Charles during a visit to the monarch’s Highgrove residence, underscoring his enthusiasm for the hobby.

Critics argue that the placement of the hives appears intended to dissuade foot traffic, despite ample space available in adjacent fields.

This isn’t the first time he has clashed with neighbors since moving into the area with his wife Victoria and their four children in 2017.

Previously, the couple faced accusations of attempting to construct a road over a public footpath for a greenhouse and drew scrutiny for plans to create a large lake on their property.

The Beckhams have reportedly been frustrated by the frequent attention from locals, ramblers, and guests from the nearby Soho Farmhouse.

They’ve invested heavily in landscaping and tree planting to obscure views from public paths to their Grade II listed barn conversion, which boasts amenities such as a sauna, safari tent, and football pitch.

Football ace David Beckham has penned a sweet tribute to his stepmother Hilary in honour of her birthday.

Taking to his Instagram Stories on Monday, the father-of-four uploaded a heartwarming throwback image of himself posing alongside Hilary

and dad Ted whilst relaxing at David’s lavish home in the Cotswolds.

To mark her special day, he captioned his post: “Hope you had the most amazing day x Happy Birthday,” followed by a white heart emoji.

In the snapshot, the trio could be seen beaming for the camera as they enjoyed a drink next to the Beckham’s lavish £50,000 safari-style tent which is located near their private lake.

Power couple David and Victoria won approval to create a 4,170 square metres lake with an island in the middle within the grounds of their second home,

on the condition that they planted hedgerows and trees to protect native birds and used special lights to help bats.

Construction for the stunning water feature went ahead in late 2020 and early 2021.

David’s dad Ted wed Hilary back in December 2021. The couple had a small ceremony in Middle Temple, London, before heading out of the country for their honeymoon.

On their big day, football ace David was his dad’s best man. Following their nuptials, he took to Instagram to share a plethora of behind-the-scenes photos, including a snapshot of David fixing his dad’s tie ahead of the ceremony.

Heaping praise on the newlyweds, he also shared: “Beautiful day celebrating my dad and Hillary’s wedding. Amazing to be together with all the family.

“So proud to be there for my dad like he’s always been there for me. Love you dad.”

Ted divorced David’s mum, Sandra, back in 2002 after 32 years of marriage. He announced his engagement to Hilary in March 2020.

David’s tranquil family life

David and his designer wife Victoria are doting parents to four children: sons Brooklyn, Romeo, and Cruz, and daughter Harper. They primarily split their time between their main residence in West London and their sprawling £12 million home in the Cotswolds.

David Beckham has sent Ollie Watkins a message after his Euro 2024 heroics for England.

Aston Villa’s star striker was the Three Lions’ super sub as he fired them into the Euro 2024 final

with a dramatic injury time winner against the Netherlands in the semi-final on Wednesday night. They will now face Spain in the final on Sunday.

And Beckham joined the likes of Watkins’ England team-mates Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham, as well as Prince William, Gary Lineker,

Steven Gerrard and Alan Shearer in celebrating his sensational goal that sparked euphoric celebrations across the nation.

“That’s why they call it a TEAM,” Beckham said on Instagram Stories. “What a moment. Well done Ollie.”

Speaking on ITV, Watkins described the moment he scored the winning goal as “unbelievable”, adding: “I’ve been waiting for that moment for weeks.

It’s taken a lot of hard work to get to where I am now. I’m grateful I got the opportunity and I grabbed it with both hands, I’m delighted.

“I swear on my life, on my kids’ lives, I said to Cole Palmer, ‘We’re coming on and you’re going to set me up’ and that’s why I was so happy with Coley, I knew as soon as he got the ball he was going to play me.

“You’ve got to be greedy, touch and shoot, and when I see it going into the bottom corner it’s the best feeling ever.

“There’s been a lot of criticism but at the end of the day we’re in the final and that’s all that matters. Forget all the outside noise, we’re in the final.

“We’ve got that kind of bounce-back factor, going a goal behind seems to kick us into gear. We never give up. We’ve won on penalties and come from behind. There’s one more game now – we’re ready.”

Like Beckham, Bellingham hailed the team effort to reach the final – and Watkins. “Ollie came on and won it,” Bellingham said on ITV. “I’m so happy for him. He came on and took his opportunity. I couldn’t be prouder. The whole team are buzzing for him. He’s the hero and he saved us.”

Aston Villa striker Watkins, 28, produced a moment of magic to send Gareth Southgate’s men into a final against Spain in Berlin with a 90th-minute strike.

After the game, ex-England captain Beckham posted on his Instagram story: “That’s why they call it a TEAM.

“What a moment ❤️. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Well done Ollie @england.”

Watkins, who appeared on Lions’ Den, was grateful for the shout-out but also joked about Beckham not tagging him.

He said: “Any chance of a tag? Send him my [Instagram handle].”

But after a playful comment, he then went on to sincerely thank the former Manchester United man.

He added: “I had his boots [as a kid], I had his preds [predators].

“It’s nice that he can do that [send me a message]. Obviously he scored a memorable goal [the free-kick against Greece], so now I’ve done something similar – [but] I think his was better.”

Watkins had played just 20 minutes at the Euros before he came off the bench against the Dutch.

But he scored within nine minutes of being brought on to send England to Berlin.

Watkins’ mum Delsi-May called on Southgate to play her son after their quarter-final win over Switzerland.

And following his special goal, the Villa forward revealed he had predicted his winning moment.

Watkins, who was assisted by Cole Palmer, said: “The ball came into me, hold up is not the strongest side of my game but the goal was my bread and butter.

“I said to Cole Palmer we were both going to go on the pitch and he would set me up and it happened.

“You don’t get that opportunity very often and I had to be greedy and take the shot. I don’t think I have hit the ball so sweet like that before.”

There’s no denying the Beckham brothers have followed in their dad David Beckham’s footsteps

when it comes to tattoos and last week, Cruz Beckham, 19, debuted his latest inking.

Sharing a sweet sibling photo alongside his 13-year-old sister Harper and 21-year-old brother Romeo, the musician proudly showed off his three lions tattoo on his right arm.

In the sweet photo, Harper stood between her brothers who both folded their arms and smiled.

The Beckham trio were soaking up the sunshine in the mystery holiday snap, with Cruz opting to go shirtless whilst Romeo opted for an open-shirt and shorts combo

and Harper rocked denim shorts and a classic white T-shirt.

It wasn’t just Cruz who went under the needle, Romeo too added to his ever-growing tatt collection, getting the word “romance” tattooed on his hand.

On the official Instagram page of their tattooist, Pablo – known as Certified Letter Boy – shared a video of the process. He penned: “It’s coming home [England flag emoji].”

Whilst in the chair in Pablo’s Soho shop, Romeo donned a football shirt and headband, just like his dad used to wear on the field.

Cruz and Romeo as well as their eldest brother Brooklyn, have been going to Pablo for a long time and often go in together for their appointments.

Back in October, the trio headed in to get matching tattoos that spelt out “brotherhood”. Brooklyn and Romeo opted to have the word on their legs whereas, Cruz chose to have the family stamp across his hand.

Romeo is also known to take inspiration from his football star dad when it comes to his array of tattoos. Pablo previously shared a photo of the Inter Miami footballer having the same life-affirming paragraph inked on his leg as his David.

Meanwhile, Brooklyn has been known to look to his wife, Nicola Peltz, for inspiration having 70 inkings dedicated to the actress.

Brooklyn’s tattoos include a sketch of Nicola on his deltoid, song lyrics that Nicola walked down the aisle to at their wedding, the word ‘married’ on his outer left hand, his entire wedding vows on his bicep, Nicola’s eyes on his neck accompanied by a letter she wrote to him when they were engaged,  the word ‘lover’ on his left index finger, an ‘N’ with a love heart on his ring finger and the words ‘Nicola Anne Peltz’ and ‘baby’ on his hand.

Surprise Announcement: Meghan Markle Set to ‘Undoubtedly’ Surpass Princess Catherine in Popularity, Experts Predict

Meghan Markle will ‘no doubt’ overtake Kate Middleton in popularity

Rumours have been circulating that Meghan Markle is set to make a big return to Instagram, with one expert suggesting she could overtake Kate Middleton in terms of popularity

Meghan Markle has faced a tough few months recently, but things could be about to change for the Duchess of Sussex.

Speculation has been mounting that Meghan is set to return to Instagram and relaunch her popular blog The Tig, with one PR expert suggesting she could overtake her sister-in-law Kate Middleton when it comes to popularity. A recent survey showed Kate and her husband Prince William way out in front in terms of popularity among the public.

However, PR to the stars Mayah Riaz believes this will soon change. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she said: “It’s no doubt when Meghan re-joins Instagram she will overtake Kate in terms of popularity.

Mayah pointed out how it’s likely Kate has staff posting to social media on her behalf. The PR expert added: “Therefore, it paints a picture perfect life which the Royal Family are keen to portray.”

Meghan stepped down from the Royal Family three years ago, before moving to America with her husband Prince Harry. Mayah said this will allow Meghan to “post what she wishes”.

“She wont have to run it by anyone for approval before posting it,” Mayah explained. Speaking about what we could expect from Meghan’s Instagram, she added: “We can see all aspects of Meghan and her family life.”

Mayah said Meghan is likely to grab widespread media attention with her Instagram account. She told us: “We don’t often see Kate’s Instagram posts making headlines. However, Meghan’s life on Instagram will lead to headlines. We can also expect to hear news of projects announced first on her Instagram.”

Meghan and Harry were recently spotted dancing the night away at Beyoncé’s concert in California. Mayah said: “We have seen footage of Meghan dancing at Beyoncé’s concert as well as public display of affection with Harry. We would never see Kate and William like this.

“This is why there will be day and night difference between Meghan and Kate’s Instagram. Let’s not forget, people who love to hate Meghan will bizarrely still follow Meghan’s Instagram.”

However, she warned Meghan could be targeted by online trolls. “We are more likely to believe that Meghan herself will be posting on her Instagram. This will lead to an explosion of followers very quickly when it’s confirmed that @meghan is her account.

“Along with the explosion of following, I fear that a lot of it will be trolling. We have seen the amount of hate directed her way on Twitter (X) and sadly, I think that will follow on Instagram too.”

One baker quits, another faints and a third hurls themselves to the floor – has the Channel 4 show ever seen so much drama in one epsiode?

The Great British Bake Off has one of the most dramatic episodes in its 15-year history tonight – with three bakers crumbling under the pressure of biscuit week. In extraordinary scenes one baker quits, another faints and a third crashes to the floor.

As the last of the trio lurches sideways in a dramatic tumble, during judging of the showstoppers, judge Paul Hollywood can barely contain himself, declaring: “What the hell is going on?” His sidekick Prue Leith shows more sympathy, asking the latest casualty: “Are you all right?”

The rest of the bakers, who have just spent four hours making an edible puppet theatre, are shaken but also collapse in giggles, with Andy saying: “They’re dropping like bloody flies!”

Baker Illiyin suffers a fainting fit in tonight’s episode of The Great British Bake Off
The baker who faints is 31-year-old midwife Illyin, who last week received a coveted Hollywood handshake just 20 minutes into cake week for her cinnamon roll loaf. This week, as she starts to swoon, another baker is heard to shout: “Got a medic?”

One is duly rushed into the tent and Illyin is put into the recovery position on the floor, from where she can be heard to say: “I just feel dizzy.” Her fainting episode comes after the fares less well in this week’s signature challenge, which earned her the handshake in last week’s series debut. Tonight she describes the critique of her Viennese sandwiches as “gutting” and admits: “I knew biscuits were a problem.”

Last week’s star baker John reacts with shock as another baker tumbles to the floor
Because Illiyin still feels “woozy”, she leaves the tent for further medical attention and is not present to for the judging of her showstopper, with Noel Fielding stepping in. He laughs that the experience is hugely stressful, joking: “I’ve had nightmares about this.”

Channel 4)The two tumbles follow the decision by one baker to quit the tent for good during the technical challenge, stating simply: “I’ve had enough. I’m done.”

Viewers can see all the action from biscuit week when the show kicks off tonight on Channel 4 at 8pm.
