It's a case of 'like father, like son' for this talented young player.
Zinedine Zidane's son Enzo showed he
really is following in his father's footsteps this week when he was sent
off for Real Madrid in an Under 18s game for this studs-up challenge.
Skilful midfielder Enzo saw red when his team took on Aspire International in the Al Kass International Cup in Doha, Qatar.

But the young player's blushes were
spared when his team-mates rallied back from two goals down to win the
game 3-2 with a late winner.
Today the Spanish club - managed by
Fernando Morientes - take on Brazilian side Fluminense in their
quarter-final clash which Enzo will miss through suspension.
Meanwhile, Liverpool's young team will face Italian giants Inter Milan for a place in the semi-finals.
The tournament - at the exclusive Aspire
Academy in the city where Manchester United last week trained - is one
of the premier youth tournaments in the world.
Temper: Zidane was also red-carded while at Juventus for butting a Hamburg player during a Champions League clash in 2000
