Inter Miami Struggles: Beckham Clashes with Minnesota United on Social Media - (2025)

Updated: 11/06/2025

Inter Miami, owned by former football star David Beckham, faced a heavy 4-1 defeat at the hands of Minnesota United in a recent Major League Soccer (MLS) clash. This loss marked Inter's most significant setback since the arrival of the legendary Lionel Messi in July 2023. Despite Messi's goal in the second half, Inter Miami struggled and suffered their fourth defeat in the last five matches across all competitions. The match drew attention not only for the result but also for the subsequent exchange on social media between Beckham and the Minnesota United team.

Following the game, Minnesota United took to Instagram to celebrate their victory over Inter Miami. They posted a photo from the game with the caption “Pink Phony Club,” a cheeky nod to the color of Miami's kit and the Pink Pony Club song by Chappell Roan. Notably, Minnesota's win also propelled them above Inter Miami in the league standings, adding salt to the wound for the struggling Miami team.

Beckham, who co-owns Inter Miami, responded to Minnesota United's social media taunts by commenting on their post. He emphasized the need for respect and elegance in victory, urging the opposing team to display sportsmanship despite their triumph. In turn, Minnesota United, under the guidance of manager Eric Ramsay, continued to engage with Beckham's comments, further highlighting the competitive tension between the two clubs.

Inter Miami's recent struggles come despite their success in the previous season, where they secured the Supporters' Shield for the best regular season record. However, their dream run was cut short in the playoffs, leaving them eager to make a stronger impact in the current season. The addition of former Argentina and Barcelona midfielder Javier Mascherano was aimed at bolstering their squad, but the team's semi-final exit in the Concacaf Champions Cup reflected the challenges they have faced.

Currently occupying the fourth spot in the MLS Eastern Conference, Inter Miami boasts a star-studded lineup featuring renowned players like Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets, and Jordi Alba. Despite the talent at their disposal, the team has struggled to find consistency, a concern that Beckham and his co-owners undoubtedly aim to address moving forward.

As the competition in the MLS heats up, Beckham's Inter Miami faces increasing pressure to turn the tide and reclaim their winning form. With the passion and dedication synonymous with Beckham's illustrious career as a player, the team aims to overcome their recent setbacks and emerge stronger in the challenging landscape of American soccer.
