Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane was forced to defend the decision to start his son, Luca, in goal for Los Blancos’ narrow win over LaLiga strugglers Huesca at the weekend.He insisted he handed Luca his first competitive start because Thibaut Courtois was injured and Keylor Navas was tired from the international break and it was nothing to do with the fact Luca is his son.11
Zinedine Zidane – Enzo and Luca
Luca was shaky on his first start for Real Madrid, however, he was ultimately on the winning side but he’s not the only Zidane boy making it in football.11Lilian Thuram – Marcus and Khephren Thuram
Zidane’s World Cup-winning team-mate Thuram has two sons who are professional footballers – Marcus, 21 and Khephren, 18.They’re both doing pretty well with Marcus, who has been linked with Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham in the past, playing for Ligue 1 side Guingamp.Khephren is at Monaco and scored a stunning goal in a Under-19s match at Chelsea in February.11George Weah – Timothy Weah
George Weah was voted the FIFA World Player of the Year in 1995 and his son Timothy, 19, is emerging as an exciting prospect in the game.Striker Timothy signed for Celtic on loan in January from Paris Saint-Germain and has scored two goals for the Scottish Premiership club.11Diego Simeone – Giovanni and Gianluca Simeone
Atletico Madrid boss Simeone, who played 106 times for Argentina and counts Lazio, Inter and Atletico as former clubs, has five children and all three of his sons are in football.His eldest Giovanni, 23, plays for Serie A club Fiorentina, while Gianluca plays for Argentine club Gimnasia y Esgrima.And third son Guiliano, 16, is on the books at River Plate’s academy and is expected to break into the first-team.11Enrico Chiesa – Federico Chiesa
Chiesa had a 22-year long career in professional football, playing for Sampdoria, Lazio and Parma, scoring in the 1999 UEFA Cup final win for the latter. The former striker’s son, Federico, is carrying on the success in the family.The winger currently plays for Fiorentina and was linked with a 53million move to Chelsea and Liverpool early in the season as well as Manchester United in February.11Peter Schmeichel – Kasper Schmeichel
Schmeichel Jr, 32, has been around for quite a while and although he hasn’t won as many accolades as his dad, Manchester United legend, Peter, he has enjoyed huge success in his career.He is Leicester’s first choice goalkeeper and was part of the Foxes team which sensationally won the Premier League title in the 2015/16 season.Kasper has a son Max, so who knows what he might achieve!11Patrick Kluivert – Justin Kluivert
At his peak, Kluivert Sr was one of the most feared strikers in European football and he appears to have passed that onto his sons as well.Justin, 19, who moved to Roma last summer, despite interest from Manchester United, is the only Kluivert son playing professionally so far. He also has appearances for the Netherlands national team under his belt.11Gheorghe Hagi – Ianis Hagi
Gheroghe Hagi is viewed by many as one of the greatest Romanian footballers of all time and his son Ianis clearly has some talent, too.Ianis, who was nominated for the European Golden Boy award in April 2017, currently plies his trade at Romanian club Viitorul Constana.However, at 20 years old, Ianis still has time to make his name.11Paolo Maldini – Christian Maldini
The Maldini family name is football royalty with Paolo emulating his father Cesare in winning numerous Serie A and European titles with AC Milan.11Rivaldo – Rivaldinho
Barcelona legend Rivaldo had a glittering career as a player – winning accolades including the World Cup in 2002 with Brazil as well as the Ballon d’Or in 1999.And his son Rivaldinho, 23, has also entered the family business.11Chelsea fans tell Maurizio Sarri: 'Now pick Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Callum Hudson-Odoi all the time' The two academy graduates starred during the 3-0 victory over Brighton By Sean O'Brien
