Jérémy Mathieu went from winning the Champions League to working in a sports shop... all for the love of the game ❤️⚽ From... - Playing alongside Messi, Neymar, Suárez, Xavi and Iniesta - Winning 8 trophies including the Champions League - 5 caps for France To... - Sales assistant at Intersport in Marseille - Serving customers in the football department - Working and staying involved in the sport while earning his coaching badges Mathieu retired in 2020 after a knee injury. He could've walked away from football completely. Instead, he's working in a sports shop while he builds his next career in coaching. No ego. No shortcuts. Just getting his head down out of pure passion for the game. Love it 🤝

In 2014, David Beckham bought an Major League Soccer team for $25 million... This week, it was valued at $1.2 billion 🤯📈 10 years which have seen Inter Miami CF: Go from $55 million revenue (2022) to $185 million (2024) Increase in value by 4,700% Win 2 cups: 2023 Leagues Cup and the Supporters’ Shield Help transform MLS from a 'retirement league' to a top 10 global league, attracting the likes of Bale, Son, and Zlatan I've seen a lot of chat about Messi doing all the heavy lifting. And sure, signing the greatest player ever helps. But Beckham did far more than that. He negotiated that $25 million clause into his Galaxy contract back in 2007 - 13 years before Inter Miami even launched. He saw what MLS could become before most people did. He brought in Tata Martino as coach. Signed Sergio Busquets, Jordi Alba and Luis Suárez. Built a commercial operation that turned the club into the second-most valuable franchise in MLS. Inter Miami launched in 2020. For three years, Beckham was building the infrastructure. Getting the sponsorships right. Developing the brand. Then Messi arrived and everything accelerated. But the foundation was already there. Beckham didn't just wait for a superstar - he built a club worthy of one. From $25 million investment to billion-dollar brand. That's not luck. That's vision. Have loved watching this transformation unfold!
