Zidane's son sent off in Madrid derby for headbutting opponent

Like father, like son? Evidently so.

Luca Zidane, the son of Real Madrid and France icon Zinedine Zidane, was sent off in Real Madrid's U-19 match against Atletico Madrid for kicking an opponent, but then headbutted a player in the ensuing melee between the two rivals.

It's a story that reads very familiar to those who recall the 2006 FIFA World Cup final. Back then, the elder Zidane headbutted Italian defender Marco Materazzi and was shown a red card. Now, almost 10 years on, Zidane's son has taken on that mantle.

But when keeping his father's legendary headbutt in mind, Luca - who plays as a goalkeeper for Real Madrid's U-19 team - might feel a little hard done by as the referees called him for what looks like a minor transgression at best.
