You sure he’s a goalkeeper? Zinedine Zidane’s son nutmegs Man United’s Ander Herrera

Tom Victor

We’re entering a new era of football, where goalkeepers have to be able to beat their man. Or maybe it’s just because he’s a Zidane.

Luca Zidane, son of Real Madrid and Juventus legend Zinedine, embarrassed Manchester United star Ander Herrera with a cheeky nutmeg in a two-on-two exhibition game ahead of the Champions League final.

You’d expect that kind of skill from someone on the books of Real Madrid, except for the fact that 17-year-old Luca isn’t even an outfield player.

If we see more shot-stoppers put midfielders to shame like this then Manuel Neuer will have a lot to answer for.

But perhaps it was just a case of the Zidane dynasty keeping pace with the Larssons, with Henrik’s son Jordan opening his account for Helsingborgs.

We’re sure Zizou would be proud.
