Boys do cry, especially if it is because of Lionel Messi.
Inter Miami part owner David Beckham is not shy to say that witnessing Messi's debut for his team will make him emotional to the point that he "might actually cry."
"I've realized as I get older I get more emotional," the British former footballer said.
"I look at my kids I get emotional, I talk to my kids and my wife I get emotional. So I think the moment I see Leo step out onto the pitch in front of our fans, in front of this nation ... I don't know, I'll be emotional for sure."

Lionel Messi might not start for protection
It has been announced that the Argentine will debut for the club on Friday against Cruz Azul, a decision Inter Miami's managing owner Jorge Mas hailed since it caters to a global audience.
The game is under the Leagues Cup, a regional competition between top clubs from Major League Soccer and Liga MX of Mexico.
There is a chance, however, that Messi will not start the game, as Beckham explained that the player still needs some "protection."
"We don't know if Leo is going to play the game or if he will have minutes, because I think that, after all, he needs to be ready," Beckham said.
"We have to protect him and make sure that he is ready, because he has been on vacation and has just arrived in Miami. He has trained and he looks good."
