Imagine turning up for your local weekly six-a-side and Brazil legend Kaka drops in as a ringer. But that's exactly what happened to this fortunate group of players in Hoxton, London.
The former AC Milan and Real Madrid star, who won the World Cup in 2002, shocked everyone at a Haggerston football pitch to play for amateur side Reach Out FC as part of an Adidas campaign.
They took on Hackney Wick FC and unsurprisingly ran out 4-2 with the 2007 Ballon d'Or winner scoring an absolute screamer after ignoring the audacious calls from a team-mate to 'cut it back'!

😱 ...and Brazil legend Kaka turns up as a ringer!
🔥 The 37-year-old, unsurprisingly, ran the show & even scored a belter

However, the finest moment of the match was when Hackney Wick's Jamal Farid nutmegged the great man, who couldn't help but see the funny side.

Kaka also missed a penalty just to make everyone else on the pitch feel human.

He enjoyed an unbelievable career for both club and country since making his debut in 2001 for Sao Paulo.
The 37-year-old helped AC Milan win Serie A (2004), the Champions League (2007), Super Cup (2007) and World Club Cup (2007) during his first spell at the club, where he scored 95 goals in 270 games.
The Brazilian then spent four seasons at Real Madrid, winning La Liga in 2012 a year after the Copa del Rey while he also scored 29 times in 120 appearances.
A short second spell at the San Siro followed without a trophy before a return Sao Paulo and three seasons in the MLS with Orlando City.
He played 92 times for his country, winning the 2002 World Cup, a pair of Confederations Cups (2005 and 2009) as well as netting 29 goals.
