Boy do we feel old right now.

Just as we were getting used to Zinedine Zidane - a man we remember well from his playing days - becoming a Champions League-winning manager, we've been treated to the news that his son is now playing and scoring. Zizou's eldest child, Enzo Fernández, has been in Real Madrid's academy since he was nine years old. https://twitter.com/JuanDirection57/status/804046625278722050 Now 21, Enzo was handed his competitive debut by his old man as Madrid looked to 'defend' a 7-1 first-leg lead against Cultural Leonesa in the Copa Del Rey. The midfielder replaced Isco at half-time with the home side already 3-1 ahead on the night and 10-2 up on aggregate, and he found the net less than 20 minutes later. https://twitter.com/realmadriden/status/804042298371633152 Madrid included a number of big names in their starting XI, with James Rodríguez Pepe and Dani Carvajal all lining up for the hosts, but there was also a first start for Norwegian prodigy Martin Ødegaard. After watching the sons of players like Rivaldo, Henrik Larsson and Patrick Kluivert all burst onto the scene in the last couple of years, Enzo's debut goal provided the final confirmation for some that their childhood is now well and truly over. https://twitter.com/shivamLM/status/804039844699734016 https://twitter.com/awinehouse1/status/804042522272137216 https://twitter.com/danielstorey85/status/804045213161418752 https://twitter.com/anthonyhart1109/status/804042607500394499 Michael Lundy joins Wooly for a wide-ranging discussion that starts with a chat about Ger Loughnane, dodgy transfers and Davy Fitzgerald's training methods.
