Former Real Madrid and England football player David Beckham presented Russian hockey player and Washington Capitals captain Alexander Ovechkin with a collectible pair of cleats in honor of his record in the National Hockey League (NHL) regular season championships. This was announced on May 18 by the wife of the hockey player Anastasia Shubskaya on the Instagram social network (owned by Meta, its activities are recognized as extremist and banned in the Russian Federation).

"Huge congratulations on the 895 goals. A little more than mine," the footballer wrote on the shoe.
