  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Legends like Henry, Drogba, Pires and Maloud teamed up with Cisse to form the Cisse All-Stars XI that took on the former Liverpool player's boyhood club, AJ Auxerre's Legends XI. Cisse's side was managed by Arsenal's iconic former coach Arsene Wenger. In the ninth minute of the match, Cissse All-Stars won a free-kick just outside the area. Drogba, and Pires came forward to take the set-piece, but Henry eventually pulled rank and took the free-kick, finding the back of the net with a pinpoint strike.
