David Beckham enjoyed a memorable Paris Saint-Germain debut when he came off the bench to help set up the second goal in the Ligue 1 leaders' 2-0 win over bitter rivals Marseille.
Former Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy star Beckham came on in the 76th minute on a freezing, snowy night in Paris to a rousing reception. After an assured first touch and two more clean passes, a stray ball down the wing was met with derision from the Marseille fans who were pushing their team forward in search of a late equaliser.
But in a Hollywood ending to his debut, Beckham made sure the headlines would again feature his name by playing a crucial role in the second PSG goal.
The 37-year-old Englishman, who is the oldest player in Ligue 1, played a neat one-two with Jeremy Menez who then crossed the ball which bounced in off the leg of Zlatan Ibrahimovic for the Swede's league-leading 22nd goal of the season.
"It was a great match, the biggest in France," said Beckham.
