Lionel Messi has made an appearance in a music video by Colombian rapper Maluma, who has paid 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 and said: ‘A tribute to the greatest LEO MESSI’ with a goat symbol.

It appears the video was filmed on August 4. The music star shared an array of pictures from Miami’s stadium on his Instagram on that day.

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

Maluma appears to be a big soccer fan and has shared pictures on social media before in the jersey of the Colombia national team.

Messi, meanwhile, has made a whirlwind start to life in the United States and won his first trophy with his new team at the weekend as Miami beat Nashville on penalties in the Leagues Cup final.

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

That game Wednesday was a thriller, which saw Messi bag two assists on the night – both times helping Leonardo Campana score – to force extra time.

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

Messi’s start to life in the United States will continue on Saturday with the player’s first ever game in MLS competition on the road at the New York Red Bulls.

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