Brady joked he was going to take Messi to Birmingham with him after Saturday\u2019s game<\/p>\n

Beckham also presented Brady with his own Inter Miami jersey before the MLS game<\/p>\n
Brady, 47, and Beckham have been friends for years and their families have spent time together in Miami before. Former NFL star Brady lives in Florida \u2013 albeit four hours away from Miami, in a newly built $17million mansion in Tampa.<\/p>\n
World Cup winner Messi, meanwhile, joined Miami last year in a move that has galvanized the game in the United States.<\/p>\n
Beckham was the driving force in recruiting the former Barcelona player, who like Brady is considered the best ever in his sport, to America and onto the team he co-owns.<\/p>\n
And Beckham rolled out the red carpet once he got his man \u2013 with a little help from Brady.<\/p>\n
He unveiled Messi at a star-studded opening ceremony at Miami\u2019s Freedom Park stadium last July and Brady was one of several stars who sent Messi a welcome message that was played out on the screens.<\/p>\n
Later that year, Messi led Miami to win the Leagues Cup trophy \u2013 the team\u2019s first since it was founded by Beckham \u2013 but they failed to make the playoffs.<\/p>\n
Messi has been admired by Brady for years. Before the 2018 Super Bowl, which Brady\u2019s New England Patriots lost against the Philadelphia Eagles, the quarterback underlined how Messi is an athlete who he follows away from his own sport.<\/p>\n
\u2018I love Messi, he is a great player \u2013 however, I am a little older than him,\u2019 Brady said, via Sports Illustrated.<\/p>\n
\u2018I love soccer, I\u2019ve watched it for a long time. I admire him, he\u2019s a great athlete.\u2019<\/p>\n
Brady, who is about to start working as an NFL analyst for FOX on a $375million 10-year deal, ventured into the other football after becoming a minority owner of English team Birmingham last year.<\/p>\n

The sporting duo are often seen spending time together when they are both in Florida<\/p>\n
His first season involved with the team was a disaster \u2013 they were relegated from the second tier but have started the new season with two wins and a draw.<\/p>\n
After winning 2-1 against Leyton Orient on Saturday, Brady took to Instagram with a message for the Birmingham fans: \u2018Great Win! We need your support all year long!\u2019<\/p>\n
Messi, meanwhile, is definitely expected to be back for Miami by the playoffs in October.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
