Zidane told Messi that he wished he had played with Messi at some point in his career. Zidane is a hero in Real Madrid and France.
Zidane had a great career as a player, but he only played against Messi once, in 2005. That’s when he saw what the 2022 World Cup winner was made of. The famous Frenchman was on the losing side when Madrid lost 3-0 to Barcelona in La Liga. The Argentine had an assist that day. Two famous players, on the other hand, were often enemies and never played together.
Even Zidane himself has said that he would have liked to play on the field with the Inter Miami star. “It’s a shame that we couldn’t play together,” he said in the Adidas-led chat. Now is the time for me to pass the ball to you. Today is a big day for me because I get to tell him how much I respect him… I believe he is pure magic.
After hearing the compliment, Messi replied, “I have always looked up to and liked him a lot.” I kept up with him a lot in Madrid. He also caused me a lot of pain because I was from Barcelona!”They started talking about a lot of interesting things, which was fun.
They talked about how it felt to score a goal in the World Cup final for their country. A lot of love was shown for the late great Diego Maradona, and the lack of number tens in the world right now was also talked about.
