Thirteen years ago, David Beckham moved to the MLS from LaLiga giants Real Madrid, leaving a trail of fame and fortune in his wake, as befitted a former member of the star-studded Galacticos side. While his move to the MLS accelerated the growth of the league back then, the league also offered him a lucrative deal should he choose to float an MLS franchise. That move came to fruition this year with the Inter Miami MLS debut last weekend. After mammoth efforts, Inter Miami played their first game against the team that topped the Western Conference table last season – Los Angeles FC.
