Bringing some glamour to the game! David Beckham hits the red carpet for his first premiere... oh no, he's just arriving to play for Paris Saint-Germain


He attracts crowds of people wherever he goes, but he may not have been expecting the reception he got when he made his first start for new club Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night.
Showing up for the match against Marseille dressed in a dapper black suit and tie, the footballer was greeted by a full-on red carpet and crowds of cheering fans.
Looking more like a film premiere than a football match, David posed for photographs and signed autographs as he made his way into the Parc des Princes stadium.

Wife Victoria showed up to watch his debut for his new team at the weekend, but the former England captain seemed more excited for his first start.
 

And the team were obviously just as excited as he was, laying on an entire red carpet for the star, complete with barriers with the words 'Ici c'est Paris' printed on them.
Proving his international appeal, he was met by a sea of screaming fans, all jostling to get a glimpse of their idol as he made his way down the very lonely red carpet.

Feeling a bit miffed? One of David's teammates doesn't seem so pleased by all the increased attention, arriving with his hands in his pockets

But far from looking awkward about the slightly excessive welcome, David grinned magnanimously as he walked down the carpet, pulling his suitcase behind him.
Looking just as suave as usual, the British footballer had obviously made an effort for his first start, and looked a little different to a fellow player who walked in front of him.
Seeming a little confused about the whole thing, the player wandered past the crowds with his head down and his hands in his pockets.

But it seems as if the full-on red carpet treatment might have been worth it, as the team came out on top, winning 2-0 to Marseille.
Even though it was a great start for the footballer, he managed to get involved in a mid-match bust up with the Ayew brothers.
The altercation resulted in David and Andre Ayew being booked, but nevertheless, the Brit left the pitch to huge cheers.
