Zidane and Ronaldo match against poverty



Around 30,000 turned out to see the match against poverty, charity football game at the Roselada Malaga on Monday night.

More an exhibition of footballing skills than a competitive match, the teams ended with a draw at 2-2. Zidane received a standing ovation before the game had kicked off, while support for Ronaldo seemed quite muted. In fact second biggest cheer of the night, went to Michael Schumacher who came on as a sub for Ronaldo's team.

It was great entertainment from all involved, and an excellent last chance for me to see the player that has been the best footballer in the world for many of the past seasons, Zinedine Zidane.
A privilege!
