The world's most expensive player, Zinedine Zidane, managed to impress without over exerting himself in Real Madrid's win over Lausanne-Sport.
The former Juventus and Bordeaux midfielder started alongside Claude Makelele, Ivan Helguera and Luis Figo as Los Merengues defeated the Swiss side 2-1.
Zidane and Figo linked up well in the Real engine room and Raul looked lively in attack.
Real opened the scoring early on with Raul finishing clinically after only three minutes.
After a decent spell of pressure, Kuzba headed past Cesar to level the scores on the hour. But Real left it late to grab the winning goal, as Guti headed home from a Munitis cross with only seven minutes remaining.
Despite not showing his full potential, Zidane managed to impress spectators with some moments of class, and gave enough hints that he will be a success in Spain.
