Despite meeting with Lionel Messi, Zidane's words about Cristiano

Cristiano Ronaldo is one of the most important players in the world. Together with Lionel Messi, both achieved outstanding things where they shared the stage for many years in Spain. Without a doubt, we are talking about the two biggest rivalries probably in history. In light of this, many things have been said about both players and the comparison is always present

In the same way, one of the things that has surprised us from time to time is when they both have moments where every time they see each other, they do not hesitate to dedicate a few words to each other. At the same time, things tend to become less tense. The comparison will always exist but each time the atmosphere of their fans tends to be healthier and between both fandoms, they usually recognize the importance of both

With that said, both away from Europe, they continue to succeed and live important moments with their respective teams. For this reason, despite the age of both, the spirit continues to surprise. Lionel Messi even won his eighth Ballon d'Or at the age of 36. With Inter Miami out of the playoffs, the Argentine is having some well-deserved days off, so Adidas decided to pair the player with Zinedine Zidane.

Undoubtedly, for many, sharing moments with Zinedine Zidane is something that doesn't happen very often. It's worth noting that it might be the first time we've seen these two figures speak. One of the things that stands out about Zidane is his great step as a footballer and also as a coach. The Frenchman was responsible for winning 3 consecutive Champions Leagues.

It is worth mentioning that a couple of years ago, Zinedine Zidane spoke a little about both players and the importance of coaching Cristiano Ronaldo at the time. These were his words:
