David Beckham knew before he even said them that his words would create a little controversy. “My answer is going to be controversial because I played for PSG at the end of my career,” he said in an interview with Netflix when revealing what his favorite jersey was in the 90s. “He There was an all white, shiny Marseille jersey, with three blue stripes, he said. I don’t know how I ended up with an OM jersey as a child, but it was one of my favorite jerseys.” A sentence that will sting Parisian supporters a little in the heart.
The current president of Inter Miami visited the capital during the 2012-2013 season. He signed in Paris in January 2013 before announcing the end of his career, 6 months later. With 14 matches played, including 5 as a starter, 0 goals scored and 2 assists, the Englishman still left Paris-Saint-Germain with a French championship title in his pocket.

Despite his love for the Olympique de Marseille jersey from the 90s, David Beckham still has great affection for PSG. Last April, while passing through the capital, he looked back on his brief stay in France: “I will always remember what they did for me, the way they treated me and the attitude of the PSG supporters towards me, he declared. Even though I only stayed six months, I felt like I was treated like I had been there for 16 years and was part of this family.”
He also added that he had been impressed by the Parc des Princes: “the reason why I couldn’t wait to play at the Parc des Princes? It was the fans! The fans at this stadium create something incredible.”
A documentary series on David Beckham which retraces his career and his life in general was launched on the Netflix platform on October 4.
