Zidane and Messi, being two of the most legendary 'ten' in the history of football, had a talk about football with Adidas.

The '10' that is associated with 'Zizou' in the French national team was never worn by him at Juventus ('21') or Real Madrid, where he wore the mythical '5' by the order of Florentino Pérez: "The 10 was of Figo, the president liked the classic numbers, from 1 to 11, he said that this was not American football, and only 5 was free after Sánchez's retirement."

Zidane refers to Manolo Sanchís as Sánchez, but beyond that oversight, the anecdote made Messi laugh out loud: "He asked me please, and I said yes on the first day... but in the end, my relationship with that number has been strong because it is Real Madrid history."
