Lifelong Arsenal fan Mick Jagger celebrated the team’s early lead as they take on Paris Saint-Germain at the Champions League final in Hungary on Saturday.
The Rolling Stones rocker, 82, was stood beside a more demure looking David Beckham, who was spotted laughing at Mick’s wild celebrations.
The two British icons were seen in a box together, with Mick fully immersed in the game as he got excited about their 1-0 advantage.
Mick was enjoying quality time with his son Deveraux, nine, as they watched their beloved Arsenal fight for European glory.
A far cry from typical football supporting attire, Mick looked stylish in the stands in a blue suede blazer, which he layered over a crisp white shirt.
Meanwhile nine-year-old Deveraux, who Mick shares girlfriend Melanie Hamrick, 37, proudly wore an Arsenal top.
Sitting beside him, David looked equally suave for the occasion in a navy suit, white shirt and tie.

Mick grew up in Dartford and became interested in football while living in and around London during his youth.
Despite not being from north London, he developed an affinity for Arsenal and has been identified as a supporter for decades.
Over the years, the singer has been regularly spotted at Arsenal matches, both at the old Highbury and at Emirates Stadium.
His support is widely acknowledged by Arsenal fan communities and football publications, which routinely include him in lists of famous Arsenal supporters alongside figures such as Idris Elba, Lewis Hamilton, and Daniel Kaluuya.
Fans of Arsenal’s rivals were left livid after two handball decisions went in favour of the Gunners in the first-half of the Champions League final.

Replays, however, showed that the ball cannoned off Trossard’s arm, yet the goal was still allowed to stand.

When asked on TNT Sports at half-time, Martin Keown said: ‘Nope. I think the referee has a fantastic view of it. We have seen penalties given in the Champions League for less than that this season, but it’s not in the spirit. He just throws his arm at it.’
Steven Gerrard added: ‘Even from a bias Liverpool point of view, I don’t think that’s a pen.’
