Still got it! Zidane shows Real Madrid stars how it's done with cheeky flicks in training

They say that class is permanent and former World Cup winner Zinedine Zidane proved he's still got it during a training session with Real Madrid stars.

As special advisor at the Bernabeu, Zizou joined in a keep-the-ball exercise and showed that none of his silky skills have frayed over time with a succession of intricate behind his back passes that left winger Angel Di Maria with twisted blood.

In fact, the only person who didn't seem too impressed was Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti who was seen failing to stifle a yawn while braving the cold conditions.

However, while Zidane excelled during the quickfire passing practice, he was less expressive when asked to switch to a more defensive role.

The French legend appeared slightly lost when trying to intercept the ball from his teammates as players laughed while they pinged the ball around him.

As a Real Madrid player, Zidane won the La Liga title in 2002-03 and the 2002 Champions League, scoring a memorable volleyed goal against Bayer Leverkusen in the final.
