I think Barca and Ajax pushed it too far 😂
AssyrianKing4ever 😂😂 Zidane is their only hope now
🤣🤣🤣hahaha
AssyrianKing4ever some Madrid fans will make another mistake thinking that Zidane could change things with only few games left.
Both clubs UCL trophies combined still can't reach Real's tho....
💀😂😂😂
Eden Hazard was the first person to watch this video lol
Hazard surely gonna leave Chelsea. And I have a feeling pogba might be tempted as well.
I'm not so sure that Hazard is gonna leave Chelsea, they have the transfer ban that means no possibilities to replace him
@@giovil5708 I don't think hazard care about that transfer ban. He played very well this season eyeing for real Madrid move. If abramovich want to block his move then he will leave as soon as those transfer ban lifted.
@@nazrinjailani3557 I know, but I imagine that if the transfer ban is confirmed, chelsea will try to force Hazard to stay in every way
@@giovil5708 it will be a battle between hazard vs abramovich. Interesting summer fiasco incoming 😁😁
Well it’s confirmed that Bale is leaving Madrid.
Nicholas Isco was Zidane’s guy, He chose Isco over James.
Good
Nicholas no Isco was used a lot by zidane
Isco will be the main man and bale surely leave and hazard to come in.
Finally 😁👏👏👏
Real won the La Liga with Zidane as their manager in 2016-17.
They need to do their homework before they talk shit, typical pundits
These people talk too much but forget the facts.
They actually won cause of bullshit officials. Ghost goal not given to Barca vs Betis go do your fucking research.
@@realcaporegime faxs
Trouble is there is only two teams Real Madrid and Barcelona so winning isnt a big deal but who knows
9:13 did they all agreed that Zidane didn't Win Laliga? What have they smoked?
Because the are Lazy.
These guys r dumbasses
These guys are joke. They are there for bantering purposes, not football reasons.
ESPN is a USA sport channel, and in USA there's a lot of ignorance about football
@lalo38th Were you watching Barca B maybe?
*_Real Madrid won the La Liga in 2016-17 btw_*
exactly, what are these pundits smoking?
Rinchen Gonpo 😂🤣
I think they only follow Premier League that keenly
they.ve been telling havent won it that much lately, you dumbass
La Liga, not the La Liga. But yes.
ESPN should apologize for zidane not wining la liga blunder.
They did on twitter
wayne shaw these people are utter idiots. They bet on Croatia getting knocked out in group stages. And they did not even start acknowledging how good they were till the semis.
Lol.
Zidane won la Liga in 16-17 season guys

ZIDANE DID DO THE DOUBLE : CL + LA LIGA, first manager to do it @ Madrid since 1958
that's really sad it took you guys that long - pathetic
@@raimes316 put any two clubs in the world together and you still won't have as many European Cups as Real Madrid. We will be back
@@hadhamalnam you're still pathetic for having only won the league/CL ONCE since 1958 - beyond shameful given your budget and spending
James S I don’t get your comment, how is it pathetic
@@raimes316 dont bring money into this, this isnt an oil club. The money comes from the club winning football games and titles. And stop acting like a League UCL double is common or easy accomplishment, there arent too many clubs that have achieved that, and among them, most play in less competitive leagues. The only club that has won it repeteadly in a difficult league is Barca, and they hadnt won it from there inception till 1992, that's like nearly a century. So Reals accomplishment is pretty significant.
Next: Zidane buys Ronaldo in the summer lol
Santiago Solari was good to give the youth players a chance but Zidane is a legend thank you Santiago
HELL YA
Solari failed imo. Poor in all competition. Glad Zidane is back.
Solari was terrible. Imagine playing a inexperienced 19 year old leftback instead of Marcelo. Lmao
Greatomeister Who did better lmao, what are you saying ?
Alejandro Cobos who did better ? How many loses occurred in all games Marcelo wasn’t involved in? Why wouldn’t you play an experienced Marcelo in CL or any of the el classicos?
Now Perez must get sacked for Real Madrid to get in the right direction
I’m not even a Madrid fan tho
who is going to sack Perez?
I agree
How tf can u sack a President..u are a very ignorant person..there have to be a big voting in spain or he resigns thats the only way
Perez is the most successful chairman of the last 5 years. Do not be reactionary and premitive. His arrogance is a weakness but he is not without his strengths......
Its a joke kids
I had to come back to this video
Zidane in means
bale out
marcelo in
isco in
ramos in
and the most important thing
hazard in
john lim marcelo is gone to Juventus mate
So true...would love to see hazard gone#GGMU
&Navas!
@@mohamedb8147 did marcelo already sold to juve or his contract end at summer ??
Chelsea have transfer ban...they will never sell hazard
Don’t forget the fact that Zidane had a Cristiano Ronaldo in his team...
I think zidane will struggle without ronaldo and marcelo
ᅮᅮwee They’ll struggle without Marcelo but they’ll be fine without ronaldo.
And u don't forget that Cristiano had a Zidane as a coach...
@@ShubhamKumar-vp9tz And now that Juventus is out of CL, Ronaldo will surely miss Zidane's magical touch.
Who needs Ronaldo??
The same damn team that let him go
Now Real Madrid will definitely beat Ajax
In the third leg🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
💀💀💀
You know what's funny is that your club that you support is inferior to Real Madrid so why don't you start respecting the kings of Europe.
abdur200845 😂😂 they think the problem is Madrid players no no no the problem is the boss
Reyan Aoufi at least he is a real football fan unlike the countless plastic fans real has. lmao
I don't think Zidane should have returned to Madrid. Because things might not go well. Zidane for me was one of the luckiest coaches. If you watch all the three champion league trophies he won certain things worked together for me otherwise he could have missed them. I feel he was a hero to leave Madrid. Let's see
David Oppong this is his chance to prove it wasn’t a lucky run
You always need to have luck on your side to win a champions league title
An oft said napoleon quote 'id rather have a lucky general than a good one'..or 'its funny the harder i practice the luckier i get'..it is a strange move tho for sure he must've gotten some serious promises/assurances (basically,perez aint pickin ANY of my teams )
David Oppong you don’t win 3 champions leagues on the trot with just luck
David Oppong yeah it’s better to have left while on the top. He should have gone to another club. If he doesn’t have the same type of success as before, he will face backlash.
Can't wait for the fans to start booing him when results don't go his way.
Yeah they will, that is how real madrid fans are.
Even when we had bad games. Zidane was never booed. He’s a simple legend. In the club as player and manager. And internationally.
Bryan Guerra
These Madrid fans don't care. The worst fans in the world.
Zidane will neva be booed by any real fans
Zidane has never been booed. These idiots will keep pushing an anti-Madrid narrative that does not exist.
*great player ,he is putting his legacy on the line ,just shows how much he loves the club ,he is also great manager ,so many great players dont become great managers ,look what happened to thierry henry his teammate*
The best highlight for Madrid this years :D
This year*
Roma Mgebrishvili Yh 😂😂
Welcome back legend glad it's him finish off the season good and start planning for next season excited to see how will come to Real Madrid this summer.
Z O when did I say we were going to win a trophy this season? Fucking moron.
Good luck😂😂💀💀they are still going to suck
38 Baby I apologize that you had to deal with that toxic Barca fan. As a humble fan of Barcelona, good luck dude

It'll be interesting to see what he can do without Ronaldo...
Without ronaldo i dnt think so.. he can't do
While Ronaldo is a godly poacher, his style didn’t match Zidane’s. Every time he got the ball he slowed the team’s momentum down. But if he was in the box he’d finish it. He was super reliable for scoring. Zidane will be fine without Ronaldo now that he can orchestrate the entire team how he wants
ronaldo can easily be replaced and he also didnt fit zidane's play style. im pretty sure zidane will do well
@@user-yp6kk9lx7k OK🤣😂😂 4-1
@@premjitpaonam2134 what is 4-1?
Let’s see how will Zidane perform without a player that guarantees a goal per game.
Zidane came back because he knew Perez will make big signings this summer for a rebuild. That could mean one of Kane, Icardi, Mbappe, Hazard, or Neymar, and that will be huge for the attack. 1 true finisher could help this team a lot.
Alex Thoppil Neymar would leave if he’s smart.
I think he just did fine without said player. 😂😂😂🤷♂️
Zidane is a class manager, surely with a window under his belt madrid will be back in contention for everything come next year
Yep, and they won the title and supercup that year(19/20)
What are u guys talking about ??? madrid did win laliga under Zidane 2016-2017 season ..
Referees won laliga not Zidane 😉
Madrid need E.Militao,A.Sandro,Weighl,Eriksen,Neymar,Hazard
Sell: Bale, Modric,Marcelo,Nacho,Ceballos,Mariano
@@jafarrafkhayee2215 typical barcelona fan.
You really can't take ESPN football talk shows seriously, when they didn't even realise real Madrid won la Liga two seasons ago 🙁
For those who said he's making a huge mistake by coming back - this is exactly why you are amongst the 99.99% people who just exist and not live (as Oscar Wilde would put it)... Zidane is an incredibly smart guy (except for one split sec during WC2006 final). The biggest risk is to coach a club that has been doing well under the previous coach, like what Lopetegui, David Moyes, and Brian Clough did when he took over Leeds. Instead Zidane, knew that since the transfer window has already closed, and Real is already out of the Champions League and pretty much the title race, all he needs to do is to guide Real into a top 4 finish and he's a hero again. He'd also be paid very well for coming back, and in the summer he would be given the keys to do whatever he wants and make a big splash in the transfer market. Then next season, as long as he does better than this year, he'd continue his amazing reputation as a manager
They don't need Neymar, Mbappe, or Hazard. They need a rejuvenated midfield and a rejuvenated backline. Replace Modric, Ramos, Marcelo, maybe casemiro. While bringing in someone like Piatek or Tadic who are significantly cheaper and provide lots of goals.
They also need a striker. No one is finishing their chances. Benzema, Bale, Lucas are useless. Piatek and Tadic aren't quite Real Madrid level yet.
@@football6989 I agree that Piatek and Tadic are not fully developed but given the season they are both currently having, I would scoop them up right away as they are looking to be world class strikers. Bale needs to go, Vazquez is too inconsistent, but benzema plays a good supporting role while also linking up the play so I say get rid of bale and Vazquez but keep benzema and make him a second striker.
@@football6989 no tadic is doing good both in cl and ajax league
@@Supes420 I agree.
I’m no Isco fan but finally he’ll get some game time🥳
He was most improved player last year. He made Verrati looked shit in Italy v Spain. I hope he comes good with Zidane back.
Isco's confidence is ruined. Looked like a headless chicken in El Classico.
Let’s see how he does now. This is a completely different team now
He's obviously going to get new players...
Eden Hazard must be partying right now.
Yeah they need new players every where.
@@htconexify Not every player needs to be replaced... Isco, Ramos, Kroos, Vinicius, Vasquez still have a role to play there.
Jr Morales yeah but they need to replace modric, bale, Marcelo and benzema. Ramos is 32 now he’ll need to be replaced soon enough too.
Great to Zidane back. He’s a legend and brought the club 3 UCL titles in 2 and a half seasons. Hopefully he can get rid of the huge egos in the locker room and get Perez to make some huge signings, especially a proven goal scorer.
These pundits are supposed to be experts but they don’t know that RM won La Liga in 2017?😂
Mourinho must be fuming. The Madrid players rejected him.
He was fired from his last two or three jobs doesn’t look good on any CV especially when you claim to be special
When Chelsea got that transfer ban...not only did they lose Zidane...but they lost Hazard as well.
Welcome back Zizu. We all were waiting for this day to happen. Let's start the best season as good as last year again.
Hala Madrid. 💪💥🌋
Now that we got Zidane...can we get Perez fired now
Either Mbappe or Neymar is going to Real Madrid, definetely Hazard is on his way
not this year. PSG will not let them go. not for any amount of money in the world. Mbappes contract ends 2022. Then MAYBE Mbappe will go to Real.
I think hazard going Real Madrid if Chelsea don’t make top 4
Zidane already said he wants mbappe and believe me when the money drops psg will take it. The kid wants to win the ballon d’or and that’s not happening in psg. I’m not a Madrid fan nor psg fan just a random observer
Tee-Jay Ndjoze i think mbappe will come in zidanes second season
If mbappe doesn't leave now.....
Lord knows what's he smoking
When Gareth Bale got the news of Zidane coming back, he had the same reaction Neymar had at the touchline when Man Utd were awarded a VAR 90th minute penalty.
Lol
Holy guacamole, I predict Kane or Hazard transferring to Real Madrid now since Zidane is back. Not a madrid fan but a Barca fan. Very surprised and impressed that this happened.
I’m a Barca fan but couldn’t see one of the best club in that situation but now I’m relived they will get back and they will deffo will perform
#forcaBarca
This is like a dream for Zidane, well said Moreno
Enjoy that new stadium poch😂😂😂
Franz Styles agree, he is great at squad building tho
Am scared and worried for him... I hope this team doesn't mess up his records.
To me, the most relieving of Zidane's return is No more scary rumors about Mou's comeback
How happy will barcalona fans be if Pep Guardiola come back to barcalona?
Is that a question? Lol
@@etzjunior_ its a fantasy
You can’t compare the two.
@@karimC35 relax.. pep is no where near Zidane
@@genocidejoe hahahaha
A manager should never go back to a previous club
Yeah if they don't replace Ronaldo and the rest of their stars still there because they are clearly burned out
Can you imagine being in the shoes of Bale right now, you got someone fired and now he comes back to kick you out
"But he is wearing those jeans"😁😂
All The Best Legend!!!
Clever guy leaves behind a legacy and now will be viewed as the saviour if he gets them back to top flight
Big money transfer coming in the summer
Alex Telles, Mbappe or Neymar, Hazard, Piatek from Milan
Tee-Jay Ndjoze Neymar or hazard for sure
@@TheEmancipatingPoet Piatek has had 2 different clubs in the last 12 months he isn't going to do a third one in 18 months
Piatek really? Lol
no talent available out there
The man who can!Zinedine Zidane 🏆🏆 🏆
People doubt Zidane due to his short stint of RM manager, but in that short time he won more trophies than many coaches who’ve coached for over a decade(s). And also, people don’t understand that for a team like Real Madrid, a coach that has played and was a world class player like himself, can actually talk and immediately have the respect of the players.
Wow this is shocking!!! Wasn't expecting this. If they don't make some major trades this will be a dumb move for Zidane
I think thats his condition is to gey full power on transfers
Baseball, American football & basketball fans should really stay off of the comment section of videos about real football :)
@@perphectcrymeproductions9699 what are you talkin bout Willis?
Jack Meov Willis? It was a joke mate. Ever heard the joke "people should support their local clubs"?! No such thing as trades in football. You either go buy players or get them on loan. No "trades" as that is a common thing to say in 'Murica!
ZIDANE win the la liga in 2017 season, + the champions league in that year 💯....
Glad zidane is back ,we at barca will get a chance at being push in la Liga and other leagues
i don't know about this...the squad isn't that great currently...maybe in the off-season they'll upgrade their players...Guti should have been considered
If they don’t get rid of at least 5-7 players by this summer and get 5-7 new players this doesn’t fix anything
Your comment was the the dumbest shit I've seen all day
The real question is what the F are those trousers Zizu is wearing?
Lmao yeah he looks like a 17 year old fuckboy
All he needs are Yeezy shoes, Canada Goose jacket and baseball cap
Drawing attention away from his scalp
Opus they're the I won three champion league titles back to back so i wear whatever the fuck I want trousers
Lmao
Mourhineo was fired but zidane said it was too easy
I wonder how close it ever came to him actually coming to Man U, the guy is an enigma I would love to know if he would of come or not.. The timing is interesting with Oli doing well and seemingly certain of the job at United
Well Perez isn't getting voted off...man just saved his job as well as attempting to save Madrid😂
ZZ wanted Man United job but knew he wouldn't get now with Solskjaer doing so well
He could have gone to juventus too
In ur dreams, United did everything to get Zizou... but of course Zizou projected.
The problem for real madrid is not departure of zidane or ronaldo honestly , its VAR. Var is the reason we cannot win any competition so we really need to get rid of Var as soon as possible.
I think the main reason zidane resigned from Real Madrid after wining 3 consecutive champions league, was to prove the media wrong which consistently termed him as being lucky.They claimed anyone would win anything with a team like Real Madrid they didn't see him as a professional coach.Now I think they will respect him and his work cause Madrid hasn't won any major cup since he left
Well,If Zidane would have stayed in RM ,He would have been sacked today !
Maybe
You say that every year 😂😂😂
If he stayed, ronaldo wud not have been sold
Zidane summer target: sell perez
9:15 what are they smoking. Zidane did win LA liga and UCL title while in Madrid. He's probably the best coach for Madrid. The ignorance is astonishing.
Chelsea lost the battle and I can feel Hazard leaving the Club, It would be quite interesting how many more trophies & players he will get in the next season.
Not the same Ronaldo made Zidane as a manager.

Thanks for coming back sir zizou
He ran the squad into the ground, wrang it out instant of transitioning in new blood. Walked away, watched his house burn, then gets asked back.
The incompitant genius one.
This is going to b a huge mistake frm zidane but let's see how it goes
You are right..... A huge mistake for ZZ
😂
Why couldn't this have been done last week before Champions League Round Of 16. But Anyways. The LEGEND IS BACK 🌠
That's not how it works. Bringing him back in wouldn't win you it instantly. Fed up of real winning. It's so fucking boring.
I thought same thing
It still wouldn't have made a difference lmao. They still would've been shit on by Ajax
@@HarvesterYT I Know But. Zidane would have probably put out a different squad or there would be more confidence amongst the players. Managers do matter UK.
Stop hating on Madrid Bro 😂
@@agueromessi5973 yepp
Let's be honest, when you consider how many of the world's best managers have gone to Real Madrid under Perez and left empty handed, there really isn't a better candidate than Zidane to take on the job that in reality he always wanted to do by rebuilding the squad, but he must be given the backing this time that he wasn't given last summer! He knows the club, knows the players, knows the expectations and he's proven that he has an eye for talent, he was the one who made phone calls to Perez to get him to secure the likes of Varane, Asensio and Bale (ironic I know) afterall, now that doesn't necessarily mean it'll pan out perfectly but it must be said that if I was in charge of Madrid right now, I honestly couldn't think of anyone better to try and take on this massive job they have on their hands at the moment than Zidane and full credit to him for not only standing firm in his beliefs, but also for coming back to take on this massive challenge despite the amazing legacy he left behind when he walked away, the man really does love his club ❤
Wonderful guy to be a manager
Perez s mad....I don't think Zidane could change soo much with this team
Arjun M they will invest big in summers
Well bale is definitely leaving in the summer.
I am barca fan and I think that the huge part of the success of Real Madrid was CR7. Without him Real will never be so successful. For sure, with Zidane Real will be in better form than now, but not as it was 3 years ago.
That will now shut everyone up who was saying Pochettino's going to Real Madrid next season 😀
Hide your Hazards and Mbappes.
Mbappe is too expensive
& Neymar also so...
@@arturo-ph2kk how much is he worth?
@@user-zm7de9fc9x probably around 300 million, but RM could afford him, it would just make buying other players more difficult because of ffp
I think they saw how mourinho destroyed Man Utd's identity for then revived back by one of their legend, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer...
At least they learn something from Man United and Perez had to swallow his pride.
Zizou revived this club even before ole ok don't want to say anything against ole but this guy won 3 ucl, la liga and many things. For your kind information Madrid lost 4-0 to Barca, 2-2 to Valencia Madrid were 13 points points behind barca in la liga by December. On 4th January 2016 zizou was announced as a coach that year he won ucl, closed the gap from 13 points to 1 points. Next year he won la liga and ucl. So plz don't tell me real Madrid is following man United's footsteps lol.
@@zr3088 I never said madrid is following Man Utd..Im just saying Madrid saw what Mou did to Man Utd and dont want that to happen to them..mentioning Solksjaer is just to made it clear that better to choose their own legend instead of Mou, as Mou was mentioned as one of the replacement candidates...
As reviving you mean parking the bus and play counter attacking football?
Which is strange why they didn't hire back Mourinho. Top class manager. Always win. Like he did at Man Utd.
Zidane's composure and confidence makes him to come to real Madrid.
zidane is back to destroy his reputation
like when mourinho went back to chelsea
Zidane love Madrid and true fan of this club, this is more than a job to him, he has passion for the club, Madrid dodged a bullet from not signing Mourinho lol
Aren’t you pundits of football? Aren’t you suppose to know stuff abt football. Zidane won La Liga in 16-17 season
just by 1 game... merely
How do these 3 guys who think that they are experts and 2 don’t know that Zidane won La Liga in 2017 -.-
Not a real fan, but I legit loved Solari when he was playing so this is bit upsetting
Madrid won LA Liga 2016-17 you goofballs.
These ESPN pundits are pure jerks
if it was me I would never return to this mess. this time Perez will be the one to kick him out.
I totally agree, i think Zidane is making a huge mistake he might smear his name this time.
How ignorant can y'all be? 9:09
"is it 3 Champions Leagues?"
"Yes"
"right, but they didn't win La Liga?"
"No"
Yes he fkn did win La Liga in 16/17! don't talk about shit you know nothing about.
Mourinho had no chance of returning to RM. Ramos and many other players hate him. I’m so excited that Zidane is back. He can handle the egos of the RM players and is a master of getting the best out of a player. He is going get them back into championship form
Eden Hazards Jersey already hanging in the Real locker room
isco is back🔥💯
Zidane and Ronaldo should never have left real Madrid in the first place
I personally don't think the coming season will be like the past three years under zidane..Ronaldo is surely missing and the fact that his presence is a must cant be ignored
Papa Perez must have promised him a big signing along with multi million dollar contract. Wonder if it’s Neymar, Hazard or Mbappe 🤔
OG Cookie Monster it's being reported that the player he really wants is Mbappe, considering he just said that he will be at PSG next season I don't see him moving to Real Madrid this summer, I don't see the club signing Hazard a right winger much more needed than him.
Why not all of them
Ricardo Hernandez Each of them will cost at least 200 million£
Tanmay Bonde so Madrid has been saving up haven’t bought anyone in a long time last signing was bale I think
@@tanmaybonde yea but Madrid have the money, they haven't really bought anyone expensive in a while
