Here is a case of the old boys teaching the Young Boys a new trick or two.

A dream team of legends, consisting of the likes of Zinedine Zidane, the original Brazilian Ronaldo, Pavel Nedved and Luis Figo defeated the Swiss side Young Boys Bern in the 11th annual 'Match against Poverty', with the proceeds of the game going to help support the recovery efforts in the Philippines after Typhoon Haiyan.

Zidane, a World Cup winner with France in 1998, showed that he has still got his magic touch, scoring twice in the charity game at the Bernabeu, and also making an audacious back-heeled pass.

Watch the highlights of the match below

Other players to feature in the team of Zidane, who is now assistant coach at Real Madrid, included Steve McManaman, Christian Vieri and Paolo Maldini.
