Real Madrid great Zinedine Zidane and Barcelona legend Leo Messi have paid tribute to eachother.

The pair met in Miami and did a film shoot for adidas.

Messi said of the Frenchman: "For me he is one of the greatest in history, I always admired him, I followed him a lot in Madrid, I suffered because he was from Madrid. He was always a player. Different, elegant, tall, magic, he had everything.

"I remember the goal against Leverkusen, the goals of the World Cup, roulette ... "

In response, Zidane said: "The word is one, magic, it's what I like. We are not together every day, but it is an important day for me to tell him the admiration I have for him.

"For me he is pure magic. For me who understands soccer, seeing one on the field, I almost knew what I was going to see, the connection."
