The Croisette vibrated to the rhythm of football this Thursday evening. The first edition of “match of legends” was held in Cannes, bringing together a host of former glories and personalities from sport and entertainment. If Zinédine Zidane, sponsor of the event, did not put on the crampons, he still gave the fictitious kick-off alongside Nikos Aliagas, before posing for the group photo with the participants. Didier Deschamps, captain of the Stars team, led a prestigious squad including Christian Karembeu, Steve Mandanda, Ludovic Giuly, Adil Rami and Robert Pirès.
Opposite, the Cannes legends could count on several veterans of the red and white house, such as Gaël Clichy, Jonathan Zébina and Sébastien Frey. The spectacle was there, punctuated by a 3-2 victory for Cannes thanks to achievements from Clichy, Koller and Marsiglia. Even the singer Kendji Girac was present, offering a touch of lightness to this evening marked by conviviality and nostalgia for French football.
