David Beckham sent social media into meltdown this weekend as he watched the UEFA Champions League final with a number of very famous faces.
Legendary rocker Mick Jagger, 82, Friends star David Schwimmer, 59, and The Killers’ Brandon Flowers, 44, all joined the footballing legend in a VIP box as the unlikely gang watched Arsenal lose against PSG in Hungary.

Beckham, 51, posted a slurry of photos to his Instagram page to commemorate the night, a move which was inundated with comments from fans globally.
“Imagine casually watching soccer next to Mick Jagger and Ross from Friends,” one wrote, while another added: “David Beckham and Brandon Flowers … two national treasures in one picture.”
“This is one of the greatest things I’ve ever seen,” another fan gushed.
While he’s best known for his sporting ability, Beckham’s name has been thwarted across headlines for a myriad of different reasons in recent months.
He recently became the UK’s first billionaire sportsman, as his combined wealth with wife Victoria hit a staggering £1.185 billion ($2.2 billion), according to the Sunday Times Rich List.
However, the massive financial milestone arrived amid fresh headlines of the ongoing family feud between David, Victoria, and their eldest son, Brooklyn.

The couple have stayed quiet for weeks following Brooklyn’s bombshell statement earlier this year, in which he claimed his family constantly mistreated his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham.
Brooklyn made several claims about his parents, from allegations of what really happened on his wedding day to claims they controlled him and shared “performative social media posts.”
Reports have also emerged that Brooklyn and Nicola have engaged lawyers to tell his parents the only way they will communicate is through them.
Despite the legal letter, David and Victoria have both sent public messages to their son, including social media posts to wish him a happy birthday in March.
Just last week, Victoria inadvertently hit back at Brooklyn’s claim that she had “controlled narratives” about him and the family his “whole life” while on Emma Grede’s Aspire podcast.
When talking about raising her children in the spotlight, Victoria told Grede her children “had a very different upbringing” from her and husband David.
“I’ve always wanted to be the best mum I could be and look after the kids, but I also feel that it’s been part of my job to really help them fulfil their full potential and for them to recognise what their sense of purpose is,” she said.
“Anything that I could do to support [them], to encourage, and to help ... that’s my job as his mum.
“It’s never about being pushy or forcing. It’s being there to support.”
