With a smash, the former Argentinian top scorer Gabriel Batistuta (53), the padel partner of Ronald de Boer (52), ends the match against the other football legends Alessandro Del Piero (48) and Juan Pablo Sorin (46) in Doha 6-3. The ball hits the glass with about the same speed as it hit the post behind Edwin van der Sar in the 1998 World Cup quarterfinal between the Netherlands and Argentina (2-1). At the request of The Telegraph the opponents of the past and friends of today look back on the clash of 24 years ago and ahead to next Friday’s cracker.
