Hernan Crespo, Gianfranco Zola, Lilian Thuram, Fabio Cannavaro and Tino Asprilla were among the players in a star-studded Parma Centenary match.
The club was founded 100 years ago and today the Stadio Tardini was host to an array of legends who have worn the Gialloblu jersey.
In pure fantasy football style, Zola played alongside Antonio Cassano and 70-year-old goalkeeper Boranga.
The Stelle Gialloblu took a commanding early lead thanks to Dino Baggio and an Asprilla brace, but the Stelle Crociate turned it all around for a thrilling 7-5 victory.
The 70-minute match saw Crespo and Mario Stanic both net twice.
