M&M: Messi and Maluma. So perfect together.

The two superstars have teamed up for a stellar collaboration. It’s a music video for the song with Yandel called “Trofeo,” meaning “trophy” in English, something Messi knows a thing or two about.

The Colombian reggaetonero had already teased that the Inter Miami baller would be a part of his latest project earlier this month on his Instagram.

Maluma, wearing No. 10’s Inter Miami jersey, posted some footage with the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner at DRV PNK Stadium in Fort Lauderdale, so yeah, we knew something was up.

Now you can watch the entire video on YouTube, and check out Messi’s cameo at around the three-minute mark.

The tatted up power forward, in slow motion, walks out to empty seats at DRV PNK, then meets up with Maluma on the pitch to give him a piece of silver hardware. The two men then embrace affectionately.

Chills, or what?
