Legendary double agents
06/12/2015 0
Every June there is a chance to see Real Madrid's veterans pit their skills against other legendary players from the best teams in Europe.
There are a privileged few who can claim to have worn the shirts of the world's footballing elite and also qualify to play on both teams in the Corazón Classic Match.
Zinedine Zidane is a prime example of just that. The Frenchman joined Real Madrid after previously delighting the world with Juventus.
Zidane's 'Bianconeri' past led to his playing double agent in the 2013 Corazón Classic Match, doing the honours for both Real and Juventus, as did Fabio Cannavaro. The defender lined up for the Italians in the first half and 'Los Blancos' in the second.
Iván Zamorano and Luís Figo then followed in Zidane and Cannavaro's footsteps the next year. The Chilean and Portuguese stars were part of the 'Los Blancos' legendary starting line-up but, after the half-time break, they switched allegiance, sporting the colours of Inter Milan.
The exclusive club is due to receive two new members in Sunday's Corazón Classic Match: ex-Liverpool duo Steve McManaman and Michael Owen. The former winger spent his best years as a player dressed in white. During his time with Real, he won two Champions Leagues and now returns as a local hero. Michael Owen also makes a return to the 'Los Blancos' fold. The striker only played one season with Real but the fans have not forgotten the goal he scored in the 4-2 victory over Barcelona at the Bernabéu.
