He may be retired, but Paul Scholes can still make a fool of Jens Lehmann

The former Manchester United midfielder was in top form during yesterday’s Global Legends Series.

FABIO CANNAVARO’S TEAM got the better of Luis Figo and his ex-pros during yesterday’s Global Legends Series in Bangkok.

The Italian’s side, which featured the likes of Patrick Kluivert, Christian Karembeu and Michael Owen, won out 8-5 with former Manchester United and England midfielder Paul Scholes proving he hasn’t lost it.

First, he caught ex-Arsenal goalkeeper Jens Lehmann off his line with a delicate chip before blasting past the German from 18 yards out.

However, Michel Salgado, once of Real Madrid, scored the goal of the game with a chest and overhead combo which Rivaldo would be proud of.

    Leagues aren’t overrated they go through phases of dominance, La Liga is the strong at present but will probably change again in the next 2/3 years

    Since 1990 this year is the 1st time that any league has won it concurrently,
    Spanish teams have dominated with 9 wins, Italian teams have 5 wins, English 4 wins, Germans 3 wins. So outside of the Spanish, who for 30 years during the 60′s-90′s only one 1 European Cup, no one has dominated. So it doesn’t say much for any of the leagues really.
