Ex-Liverpool striker Fernando Morientes side-footed a volley past Edwin van der Sar for the opener before nice footwork from Andy Cole set up Lee Sharpe, who repeated his famous shuffle to celebrate.
2001 World Player of the Year Figo showed he hasn’t lost it by curling the second into the top corner from 25 yards after receiving a pass from fellow Galactico Zidane.
Teddy Sheringham had the chance to level things up with a penalty but his shot was weak and the follow-up sailed over the bar.
Fernando Redondo put the home side further ahead before 46-year-old Sheringham, who did this to Gordon Ramsey last week, made up for his earlier miss with a neat chip.
