the Corazón Classic Match
Zidane, Figo, Macca and Karembeu were some of the recently retired Madrid players who showed for this match against veterans from AC Milan. Am I showing my age by remembering the days when Macca and Karembeu wore the Madrid white? Anyway, speaking of hearts, Zidane still has mine. If I had been there, I would have been screaming “Zizou, I love you” the entire time. I absolutely love him and wish he were still playing – and he could, he still has the skills. And how much I’ve missed Macca too! I wonder what he and Zidane were talking about?
The goalkeepers wore the orange shirt, and luckily they weren’t matched with the orange shorts. I think that disaster is only for Iker.
I’m all nostalgic now…
The game ended Madrid 4 – 3 Milan. More pictures here, and a video here.
I would have LOVED to see Di Stéfano suit up, although that would have been impossible. I like the Madrid pin on his suit!
And here is another reason why I love Madrid – we’ve always had good-looking players!

No Raúl, it was all former players and el capitán is still a current one!
