David Beckham burst into tears after he was taken out of Paris St. Germain's 3-1 win over Brest 10 minutes before the end of the game, NESN reported Sunday.
The 38-year-old soccer superstar, who announced his retirement earlier this week, played the final game of his 22-year career on Saturday.
Both sets of fans, plays and coaches stood up to applaud Beckham as he walked off the field for the last time in his playing career. He also received an emotional embrace from PSG manager Carlo Ancelotti.
“It’s been very special to finish my career here. It could not have been any more special," Beckham said after the game.
Beckham helped lead PSG to the 3-1 victory with an assist to Blaise Matuidi in the 31st minute of the game.
Ben Affleck finally made it into the venerable "Five-Timers Club" when he hosted "Saturday Night Live" for the fifth time this weekend. When the 40-year-old actor discussed his memorable year as the director of award-winning film, "Argo," he asked Jennifer Garner, his wife of eight years, to help him explain his awkward "marriage is work" Oscars speech.
During his opening monologue Saturday night, Garner appeared on stage to jokingly reprimand Affleck for his poor choice of words.
"I'm not sure why you had to share it live to a billion people," Garner said.
"I would have said, 'Thank you to my wife, our marriage is a gift!'" she added.
While picking up his Academy Award for Best Picture in February, Affleck called his marriage to Garner "work."
"I want to thank my wife who I don't usually associate with Iran. I want to thank you for working on our marriage for 10 Christmases. It's good. It is work but it's the best kind of work and there's no one I'd rather work with," Affleck said.

The "Saturday Night Live" audience went wild this weekend when "Weekend Update" host Seth Meyers introduced once last edition of "Really?!? With Seth and Amy," co-hosted by his old "SNL" partner, Amy Poehler.
Meyers will soon be leaving his post as head writer for "SNL" to replace Jimmy Fallon as the host of NBC's "Late Night" franchise.
Meyer and Poehler used their popular segment to target the IRS, currently mired in controversy over a report that the agency targeted conservative groups.
“I mean really, the government only keeps you around to make the DMV look good,” Poehler said.

Gwyneth Paltrow advocated for a dairy and gluten-free diet in her latest cookbook, "It's All Good," which some critics called overly restrictive. But the 40-year-old health-conscience actress told the very first issue of Beach magazine that her father's cancer diagnosis prompted her to think about healthier foods.
"I began to consider the effects of food when my father was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1998," told the magazine (via E! Online). "I started to research anti-cancer diets in hopes that he would try to hit it from all angles."
Bruce Paltrow, an American film director and Gwyneth's father, died in 2002 at the age of 58 after a battle with oral cancer.
"It's about being mindful about what you are putting in," Paltrow added. "Good whole foods are the way we have eaten for generations. It's amazing how good you feel when you just cut out the processed stuff."
'Every single nutritionist, doctor and health-conscious person I have ever come across . . . seems to concur that [gluten] is tough on the system and many of us are at best intolerant of it and at worst allergic to it,'' Paltrow wrote in her cookbook.
She said that her husband, Chris Martin, and two children follow the diet as well.
"Sometimes when my family is not eating pasta, bread or processed grains like white rice, we're left with that specific hunger that comes with avoiding carbs," Paltrow said.
Beach magazine hits stands May 23.
Police have charged William C. Lewis with aggravated assault and public intoxication after the 19-year-old allegedly hit the lead singer of the Toots & the Maytals with a glass bottle during a concert, the Richmond Times Dispatch reported Sunday.
Reggae singer Frederick "Toots" Hibbert was performing with his band at the Dominion Riverrock festival in Richmond, Va., on Saturday when the vodka bottle hit his head. According to WTVR, Hibbert received eight to 10 stitches on his head but had left the hospital.
"Blood was flowing heavily from his head," a concert worker told the Times Dispatch.
"He was in good spirits and was very appreciative of Richmond," the festival manager said of driving Hibbert to the hospital. "He said he wanted to come back, and he understood this was just one bad apple, basically."
Jack Berry, executive director of the company that produced the three-day music festival, said that the company would look into whether security procedures could be improved.
The Toots & the Maytals called for any information about the incident via their Facebook page and Twitter feed:

Chris Brown's attorney Mark Geragos said his office had received multiple phone calls from people threatening the singer's life, TMZ reported Sunday.
Sources told the gossip site that Los Angeles authorities are investigating death threats, though its unclear whether the callers said anything more specific.
Geragos represented Brown in the aftermath of his assault on then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009. In April, he told Extra that the 24-year-old singer has learned from his mistakes.
Brown is scheduled to perform at Sunday night's Billboard Music Awards.
Dwyane Wade made prom a night to remember for Archbishop Coleman Carroll High School senior Nicole Muxo when he surprised her at the event with flowers and a single dance, WSVN in Miami reported Saturday.
Muxo had invited the 31-year-old Miami Heat guard to the dance with a modest YouTube video, in which she said:
I have everything set up for a perfect night except for one thing: a perfect date. So since you’re my favorite basketball player, I was wondering: Will you go to prom with me?
Wade told the Miami Herald that he thought he'd be too busy to attend the dance, but changed his mind at the last minute when he saw a break in his schedule.
"I said, 'I won’t be doing nothing tomorrow night and I can go and make this a memorable moment for her,'" he said.
“I’m going to remember it forever,” Muxo said of her surprise date. “This was the highlight of my senior year.”
Wade took to Twitter to spout a few words of encouragement for any teens looking for famous prom dates.
"Never be 2 scared to ask," Wade tweeted, along with the hashtag, "#dreamsdocometrue."
