Lionel Messi stars in music video for Colombian rapper Maluma’s new song – as the Inter Miami star hands the singer a trophy at DRV PNK stadium in a song ‘paying tribute to the greatest’

Lionel Messi has appeared in a music video by Colombian rapper Maluma, who pays tribute to the World Cup star in his new song.

Messi, 36, appears in his Inter Miami jersey at the team’s DRV PNK stadium and hands the singer a trophy before hugging him.

Maluma revealed the song on his Instagram saying, ‘A tribute to the greatest LEO MESSI’ with a goat symbol.

It appears that the video was shot on August 4. The music star shared a series of photos from Miami’s stadium on his Instagram that day.

He posed for a photo next to Messi and shared other photos of Messi signing a Miami jersey for him to keep. He also received a Miami jersey with ‘Maluma 10’ on the back – Messi’s jersey number.

Maluma appears to be a huge football fan and has previously shared photos on social media in the shirt of the Colombian national team.

Messi, meanwhile, has had a stellar start in the United States, winning his first trophy with his new team this weekend as Miami defeated Nashville on penalties in the Leagues Cup final.

And on Wednesday evening, he led his team from Miami to the final of the US Open Cup, where they will play against Houston Dynamo on September 27.

Wednesday’s game was a thriller, with Messi racking up two assists that night – both times helping Leonardo Campana score – to force extra time.

There he converted a penalty that helped Miami reach its second cup final in just one month.

Messi’s start in the United States continues on Saturday with the player’s first-ever game in MLS competition on the road with the New York Red Bulls.

Maluma is a very successful Latin Grammy winning artist – with 63 million Instagram followers and a number of top hits in the Latin world.

Last week, Messi said he was humbled at how welcome he and his family have been received in Miami.

“From the beginning, from my arrival, it has been an impressive welcome that we have received,” he said at a press conference.

“Today I can tell you that I am very happy with the decision we made. I just came here to play and continue to enjoy football.’

Miami co-owner David Beckham said of Messi in July: “He is at the stage of his career where he has done everything any footballer can do in a sport as one of the greatest players if not the best player ever. play the game.

So he’s still hungry. I saw him on the training field. I know he’s still hungry.’
