DAVID BECKHAM has said that people who are suggesting Inter Miami's recent wins are a "fix" is paying the team the "biggest compliment anyone can give".
Inter Miami defeated FC Cincinnati 5-4 on penalties to make the final of the US Open Cup after a comeback from two goals down.
The team owned by the England legend found themselves 2-0 down only for Lionel Messi to help them get back into the game with two assists.
It went to extra-time with the score ending 3-3 before the Argentine star converted his spot-kick to help his team win on penalties.
This comes just days after the former Barcelona trio of Messi, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba helped the US side to their first silverware.
