On April 6, Alex Ovechkin made history by scoring his 895th career goal, surpassing Wayne Gretzky to become the NHL's all-time leading goal-scorer. Following this milestone, Ovechkin received various gifts, including a pair of signed cleats from soccer legend David Beckham, who humorously acknowledged his own goal tally. Ovechkin's passion for soccer is well-known, as he has participated in team events and considers Lionel Messi his favorite player. Additional honors for Ovechkin included a golden stick, sculptures, and recognition from local officials and his peers.
Ovechkin has long been a huge soccer fan and claims Lionel Messi as his favorite player. He suited up for his hometown soccer team, Dynamo Moscow FC, in the summer of 2022 for a scrimmage.
Beckham signed a pair of white Adidas Copa Mundial cleats with the message, 'Huge congrats on scoring 895 goals a few more than me. Love, David Beckham.' He included his number 7 from his time with Manchester United.
