Zinedine Zidane's 17-year-old son Luca saw red for Real Madrid U19s at the weekend against local rivals Atletico.

The goalkeeper was dismissed for a kick on an opponent, before a melee ensued between the two sets of players at Atletico's Majadahonda training complex.

Zidane went head-to-head with an Atletico player during the 14-man ruckus, before Real succumbed to a 4-2 defeat against their rivals.

Zinedine Zidane's last professional game came in France's 2006 World Cup final defeat by Italy, where the midfielder was sent off for a headbutt on Marco Materazzi.

He played 225 times for Real Madrid between 2001 and 2006, scoring 49 goals.
