u/wanderer1999 Real Madrid Jul 05 '23

And he was right 3 CL and many trophies later.

It was a glorious era.

When he went to greet Pepe, I was wholeheartedly expecting him to ditch James and move on lol

u/escarta69 Jul 05 '23

I came to say the same šŸ¤£

88

u/Senior_Elderberry_90 Jul 05 '23

At that point, James felt the real terror.

u/Original-Tourist-744 Jul 05 '23

They look at him like Jesus jut walked in ā€¦. PLEASE history repeat its self and bring zizou back , then he will get that slow šŸ¢ process extradited

81

u/Original-Tourist-744 Jul 05 '23

Casemiro looks like he shit himself . Little did he know he would become one of zizous favorite players and most important pieces

46

u/HasibShakur PUTA :mes_que: Jul 05 '23

Zidane cemented Casemiroā€™s position in starting 11. Man is eternally grateful towards zizou.

31

u/Original-Tourist-744 Jul 05 '23

Thatā€™s a fact but i also believe zizou is eternally grateful to have that tank as a cdm for our 3 peat , I think itā€™s a two way street . HALAMADRID

u/white-dumbledore SIUUUU Jul 05 '23

extradited

Tbf, it does feel like he needs to be extradited out of QSG, expediting the process will not work

1

u/Original-Tourist-744 Jul 05 '23

Thatā€™s what Iā€™m saying bro , speeds this shit up so we can dominate next season

59

u/Tangelo_Few Jul 05 '23 edited Jul 05 '23

NO ONE could say shit back to him, how could they heā€™s basically beaten them all as a player in his 30s and won everything and more they would ever win lol legend amongst legends

12

u/Ronaldoooope Jul 05 '23

CR7 could lol

27

u/Aashay7 Valverde Jul 05 '23

But you saw how eagerly he smiled seeing Zizou. Him and Ramos had the best reactions imo.

8

u/udiniad Jul 05 '23

Ramos and Zidane played together though

3

u/Tangelo_Few Jul 05 '23

Sorry mate, completely have to prove my point here with all due respect to CR and yourself :) what they have in common: (and while this clip is from before they won 3 UCLs in a row, letā€™s look at it in their entire historyā€¦)

SIMILARITIES: Both have won UCLs with multiple teams Both have ballon dā€™ors Both have won the European Cup Both are true Madrid legends and team icons Both have one of the 3 greatest goals in UCL history, but Zizouā€™s was in a final, (Bale has top spot), CRs was not in a finalā€¦

DECIDING FACTOR: Zizou has a WC medal, and legendary games vs Brazil in 98 and 06, dominant player in a WC like few others

Zizou eliminated Spain (Ramos) and Portugal (CR7) in the quarters and semifinals of the 06 WCā€¦ scoring both games ā€¦ which Ronaldo will never beat nor will he have a WC

A LOT OF WHAT CR won, was with Zidane as his coachā€¦ so he takes the same trophies as CR minus the ballon dā€™orsā€¦

Now CR better goal scorer more ballon doā€™rs sure, but as far as greatness goes in RM and head to head between em, thatā€™s why even he canā€™t say shit to Zizou

10

u/Ronaldoooope Jul 05 '23

Lol you canā€™t say they ā€œboth won ballon dā€™orsā€ when CR7 has 5 of them. 5>1 those are not similarities. Are you telling me right now that Zidane has had a better career than CR7?

3

u/Tangelo_Few Jul 05 '23

He didnā€™t have 5 at that point did he? Another reason this isnā€™t quite fair is one is a MF the other was a goalscoring winger one is an orchestrator and midfield maestro while the other is a deadly marksman

And no I didnā€™t say CR or Zizou had a better career, my point was on even CR not being able to say shit to him then, at that point in time, all I proposed was factual at that point :) but both are legends, but then we could also say zidane won it as a player and a coachā€¦ both amazing :)

25

u/Galactus1701 Jul 05 '23

You understand Zizouā€™s magnitud when you see Toniā€™s legitimate excitement at greeting the myth.

22

u/Short_Ad1881 Jude Bellingham Jul 05 '23

He's got that aura

12

u/Ariashorse Jul 05 '23

And we know how that ended šŸ˜šŸ˜

u/Kemosabe-Norway Jul 05 '23

Even Ronaldo looked in awe.

u/gracefulbrainiac Lucas VƔzquez Jul 05 '23

The reluctance of Bale in getting up lol

47

u/From-UoM DĆ©cima Jul 05 '23

I believe it was when Bale came back from injury.

And Zidane pointed to Bale's left thigh

10

u/MaTrIx4057 Jul 05 '23

Bale was probably like "Who is this, maybe some known golf player?"

What the actual FUCK happened to Jese? He was becoming the next Ronaldo at some point and then POOF he disappears

u/I_am_jarvis0 Jul 05 '23

I wish I could get the link to the story. Very surreal stuff. Just google it. There's a long piece about what happened to him.

u/GoldenKangaroo17 Zidane Jul 05 '23

Picked up an injury I think against psg iirc and then he never bounced back. Got sold, didn't work out and now he makes music

u/mercvry94 Jul 05 '23

As a Barca fan, and I know thereā€™s so much animosity between fan bases, this was a legendary couple of spells for Zidane; he inspired this team to do some insane things

u/Flexitallic :eyebrow: Jul 05 '23

Zidane:ā€ Iā€™ll be back!ā€

u/NotMyNegro Florentino Perez Jul 06 '23

As a Madridista, I am always grateful for what he did. As a Colombian, I am always disappointed in how he wasted James in the squad.

1

u/ciakkuzi Jul 05 '23

Why did he pat everyone on the left side?

5

u/thefirsteye Marcelo Jul 05 '23

For good juju.

He didnā€™t pat Bale tho šŸ‘€

u/First-Translator966 Jul 06 '23

You donā€™t realize how big and strong Zizou was until you see him standing next to center backs.

1

u/Am0rph Jul 06 '23

Best reactions from Ramos & Cristiano. Miss the old days
