David Beckham was seen posing for photos with fans inside the Parc des Princes as he watched his former club, Paris Saint-Germain, take on Liverpool in the Champions League in the French capital.
The former Manchester United and Real Madrid midfielder, who turns 50 in April, played for PSG in 2013, making a few appearances before retiring. He famously shed tears on the pitch during his final moments with the club and returned to watch Luis Enrique’s team face the Premier League leaders on Wednesday.
This matchup is one of the standout fixtures of the round, featuring two of Europe’s top teams vying for a step closer to Champions League glory, alongside almost certain league titles. Liverpool is 13 points clear at the top of the Premier League, while PSG holds the same lead over Marseille in Ligue 1.
Beckham was spotted in a blue striped shirt, a dark blue tie, and a brown jacket as he leaned forward to smile for a photo with a fan.
David and his wife Victoria have been enjoying their time in Paris this week during Paris Fashion Week. On Tuesday night, the couple took a break for a romantic outing, leaving their hotel to attend the inaugural gala dinner at the Louvre Museum to kick off Fashion Week.
Victoria looked stunning in a sleek black dress that highlighted her slim figure. She carefully held onto her long skirt to navigate her stiletto heels while holding onto her dapper husband’s arm.
David complemented Victoria’s look in a slim-fitting suit, accessorized with a fringed white scarf. The Le Grand Diner du Louvre hosted a glamorous gathering of models and A-list fashion enthusiasts, raising funds for the Louvre’s restoration and educational projects.
Beckham sat next to PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, enjoying the game, though his former side ultimately lost 1-0. He was also greeted by actor Kit Harrington as they watched the match unfold.
Both teams are in a challenging draw, which includes heavyweights like Arsenal and Real Madrid.
