Best memories:

Zidane has given the Real Madrid a plenty of great memories to choose from. Real Madrid won 9 trophies in the last three seasons under Zidane. Talking about his best memories at the club, Zidane said,

“The most beautiful moment was when the president brought me to play for this great club. If there’s one as a coach, it was winning La Liga. For me that was the top.

This year the worst was losing the game against Leganés in the second leg of the Copa del Rey. I won’t use the word but you know it.”
