David Beckham takes his son Cruz, 18, to watch Man City vs Real Madrid in the Champions League semi-final first-leg – resulting in a 1-1 draw
David Beckham took his son Cruz to watch Man City vs Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League semi-final first-leg on Tuesday.
The doting father and former footballer, 48, jetted off to Madrid, Spain, with his son Cruz, 18, to watch the tense first round of the Champions League semi-final.
The match came to a knife-edge 1-1 draw, with Man City holding the advantage over Real Madrid ahead of the second leg at the Etihad next Wednesday.
Watching the action from the jam-packed crowds, David cut a suave figure in a black suit and a white shirt, which he styled with a smart tie.
He wore his brunette locks in his signature slicked-back style and opted for a well-groomed beard as he was seen chatting with Cruz, who he shares with wife Victoria.
Cruz looked equally as dapper in a grey suit, which he paired with a crisp white shirt and a black tie for the occasion.
The father-and-son enjoyed some quality time together as they soaked up the atmosphere at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
As well as Cruz, David also shares sons Brooklyn, 24, and Romeo, 20, and daughter Harper, 11, with his fashion designer wife Victoria, 49.
While Romeo has followed in David’s footballing footsteps and plays for Brentford B, Cruz has gone down his mother’s career path and has taken up singing.
During the tense semi-final first-leg, Real Madrid’s Vinicius Junior scored the first goal with a magnificent strike before the break.
With 11 goals and 11 assists under his belt in his last 22 Champions League games, people were rushing to heap praise on the Brazilian player for his fantastic show.
But when it looked like Junior’s strike would decide the match, Kevin de Bruyne brought things back with an incredible equaliser midway through the second half.
Following the 1-1 draw, Man City will have the advantage ahead of playing the second semi-final leg at their very own home ground, the Etihad Stadium.
David’s travels across to Madrid for the Champions League semi-final match come after he spent the Bank Holiday weekend at Guy Ritchie’s £50,000 barbeque tent.
He joined his wife Victoria for a long weekend at the lavish tent with director Guy and his wife Jacqui Ainsley while watching the crowning of King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Taking to Instagram on Monday, Victoria played her husband’s sex symbol status for laughs by sharing a shot of him dressed in little more than a pair of snug beach shorts as he reclined in the sun.
With his numerous tattoos fully exposed, the former Manchester United and England footballer appeared to be completely oblivious as he he chatted to close friend Guy on the decking of their weekend bolthole.
Captioning the shot and appearing to acknowledge his numerous fans, she wrote: ‘Last one for the bank holiday… you’re welcome!’
The former Spice Girl also shared a snap of David as he rode the fields surrounding their Cotswolds retreat on one of his motorbikes.
Elsewhere Victoria enjoyed shots of vodka jellies with Guy’s wife Jacqui in snaps shared to her Instagram Story on Monday.
The fashion designer looked chic in a navy blouse as she joined the model, 41, in Guy’s £50,000 barbeque tent before superimposing crown emojis on their heads.
Guy first unveiled his £50,000 luxury barbeque on the first day of the Chelsea Flower Show in September 2021.
The director designed the outdoor grill to entertain celebrity guests all year round at his home, Ashcombe House near Salisbury, Wiltshire, which he bought with his ex-wife Madonna.
He was joined by his ex-model wife Jacqui Ainsley as he launched the fire-table, which featured in his 2019 action-comedy The Gentlemen, at the Royal Horticultural Society’s first ever autumn show.
The BBQ obsessive, who previously admitted to having over 30 grills, has said the Wildtable is a ‘brand new way to cook, gather and eat’.
Guy and Jacqui often host outdoor meals for friends, including the Beckhams, using the grill on their 1,100-acre estate.
