After a 26-year career, which included appearances in World Cup finals and Champions League victories, Zidane naturally played in some of the most iconic stadiums. But which one stands out to him as the best?
An in-depth analysis of Zidane’s playing days from Madrid Xtra (via Yahoo Sports) reveals his answer, and it’s one many might expect.
During his five years at Real Madrid, Zidane formed a strong bond with the club, expressing, “The Bernabeu is top, top, top. For me, the Bernabeu is number one. The people, stadium, everything, the history that the club has, it’s the best.”
It’s easy to see why Zidane holds the Bernabeu in such high regard, as many players, analysts, and fans consider it among the top sports venues in the world.
Reflecting further on his time at Madrid, Zidane spoke about his most iconic goal for the club—his unforgettable Champions League final volley in 2002, which secured the trophy for Real Madrid.
He remarked: “The best, most beautiful and important one, I think is the goal against Leverkusen. We needed this goal to win the Champions League.”
That moment perfectly demonstrated Zidane’s unique ability to change a game with his brilliance, showcasing his remarkable skill and technique.
Although Zidane reached the pinnacle of the sport, he has one lingering regret from his playing days: not having the chance to play for his childhood club.
Now a coach and currently without a position, Zidane is searching for his next opportunity in football. He was once rumored to be considered for the Manchester United job, but that chance has again slipped by.
