A clip of the iconic winger on a five aside pitch with some youngsters quickly went viral when he was left reeling by a nutmeg.

On top of that, it’s alleged that the perpetrator of the brilliant piece of skill was in fact his son.

It wasn’t just any bog-standard nutmeg either, the youngster flips the ball back onto his toes at the last second, and after blasting past a stunned Ribery, he toe pokes the ball in the back of the net.

The nine-time Bundesliga winger will certainly be proud once he sees the clip, having himself been famous for his incredible one-on-one skill on the wing.

The 40-year-old won 23 trophies in 12 years with Bayern, and after leaving in 2019 he showed his love for the game as he tried to keep going in Italy with Fiorentina and Salernitana.

Ribery officially hung up his boots at the latter side in 2023, and later paid tribute to his former love Bayern.

"Bayern's like a family to me," he said. "Ribery and Bayern together, that's love.

“I've done my bit to get the club to where it is now, and Bayern have obviously had an influence on my development too. The relationship between Bayern and me is special."
