After calling time on his professional career back in December at the age of 37, Czech midfielder Tomas Rosicky celebrated his 20-year professional career — which included stints with Sparta Prague, Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal — by playing a testimonial match on Saturday featuring a Czech XI and World XI. The likes of Robin van Persie, Cesc Fabregas, Jens Lehmann and Mathieu Flamini were on show, but it was Rosicky’s young son, Tomas Jr, who stole the show.
The Czech XI won the match 5-2, and it was Tomas Jr who scored the game’s final goal. Little Mozart burst through the midfield, with a little help from his father, before receiving a pass from dad.
Tomas Jr then finished the move by nutmegging Lehmann in goal.

The mad man Lehmann had earlier saved a penalty from Rosicky, and the man of the hour also feared that the German keeper would stonewall his son as well: "I was actually expecting Jens to save my son's shot too! I'm glad he showed his human side as well."
