Soccer star David Beckham suffered an injury to his right knee during a game on Sunday.

The Real Madrid midfielder, who signed a $250 million contract to play for the L.A. Galaxy in January, was hurt when he collided with an advertising sign while playing at home against Getafe.

After the injury, Beckham, 31, tried to continue playing, but ultimately limped off the field (completely overshadowing injured "lesser teammate" José Antonio Reyes, who had to be carried off the field in a stretcher, by the way).

Beckham was later diagnosed with damaging the lateral internal ligament of his right leg and is undergoing further tests Monday to determine the extent of the injury and its potential impact on his move to Major League Soccer in July.

"It looks serious but I do not want to say how bad until the doctors do the scan," said Real Madrid Coach Fabio Capello.

Hopefully, Becks got his legs insured by Lloyd's of London like Tina Turner because that 'cap was worth $125 mil.

A part of us feels sorry for the L.A. Galaxy owners out there, currently cleaning out their pants, wondering if they're now going to be underwriting the most expensive benchwarmer in history.

But you sort of knew when they handed out that obnoxious sum that something like this was bound to happen, right?

Although, the Irony Gods driving the point home by crashing the man into an advertisement was a bold and unexpected touch.
