Zidane proved that class is permanent as he rolled back the years during the charity match.

The 51-year-old put on a classy display harking back to his five-year spell with Madrid where he won the Champions League and La Liga between 2001 and 2006.

The silky midfielder continued to do the little things well as fans were in awe of his soft touch and quick feet on the ball.

And one clip in particular sent fans mad as Zidane took the ball into his control in a tight area and wriggled away from a Porto defender with ease using a tidy bit of skill.
