“So lucky to get to see the girls before tonight’s big game… “

David Beckham shared an adorable snap of himself and his daughter, Harper, as the pair cheered on England’s Lionesses at the Fifa Women’s World Cup.

The father-daughter duo even have the chance to meet the team earlier in the day, as the team got ready to take on Norway in Le Havre.

David shared a series of family photos on Instagram, as his mum Sandra joined them at state Oceane.

Posting a photo of Harper meeting the team, he told his followers:

“So lucky to get to see the girls before tonight’s big game… As a player I know exactly what it means to play in these competitions and to have the support from home which means so much.

“I just want to say how very proud we all are of every single player, they are doing amazingly well and the whole country is behind them !!! As you can see Harper was so excited to meet the team & is so excited for the game…Come On England.”

It comes as the dad-of-three recently spoke about how he hoped his daughter would follow in his footsteps with a football career.

During an appearance on the Graham Norton Show last year, he admitted:

“Harper is playing every Sunday and loves it. The boys don’t play and it’s heartbreaking. They have a talent, but it’s down to Harper now.

“I get very enthusiastic when watching her.

“The other day a boy took her down and I had to think how to react with all the other parents watching me.

“Do I act like a Unicef ambassador or do I act like Harper’s daddy? In the end, I let it go!”
