Travis Kelce met French soccer legend Zinedine Zidane at the Miami Grand Prix - and joked afterwards that he was grateful not to be headbutted.

Zidane was infamously sent off from the 2006 World Cup Final vs. Italy when he headbutted Marco Materazzi, reducing France to 10 men and helping Azzurri ultimately win on penalties.

But Kelce - an investor into Alpine's F1 team - had a much friendlier interaction with Zidane on Sunday.

'He was cool man, and honestly I was just happy I didn't get headbutted! It would have been an honor,' he joked on a new episode of his "'New Heights' podcast with his brother Jason.

'I don't know if you want that, it does some damage,' Jason replied.
