Tottenham’s side, which featured the likes of Aaron Lennon, Robbie Keane, Dimitar Berbatov and Jermain Defoe, rolled back the years with some stunning football in the early stages.
In fact, the Premier league aces were 3-0 up within 20 minutes against a Milan side featuring Dida, Andrea Pirlo and Cafu.
And Spurs fans couldn’t help but wish their iconic heroes could lace up after the international break too, joking that they might do a better job than their current crop.
On social media, one wrote: “Keep these lads on after the international break”.
While another added: “Can the legends just play every week till end of the season”.
A third teased: “The legend are playing better than our first team”.
And a fourth posted: “seen enough, bring Defoe back to the first team”, after seeing Defoe net in the first half.
Spurs have had a torrid campaign under Ange Postecoglou this season and are currently 14th in the Premier League.

The north Londoners have won just 10 of their 29 league games this season and were dumped from both domestic cups.
While they only narrowly made it into the Europa League quarter-finals after turning around a first leg deficit against AZ Alkmaar.
Their woeful campaign has been caveated by a slew of injuries across the team, but performances haven’t changed much since the return of key players.
By contrast, their legends team were 5-0 up at half-time in their head-to-head with Milan.
Milan put up a little more of a fight in the second half, scoring twice to put a little more pressure on the home side – including a stunning free-kick by Pirlo.
But another Spurs goal meant the match ended 6-2 and the old boys showed that they still have what it takes to put on a show for the fans.
Tottenham face the tough task of a trip to take on London rivals Chelsea in their first game back after the break.
While they also have their quarter-final face-off with Eintracht Frankfurt on the horizon.
