Zidane returns to Real Madrid | Thaiger

PHUKET: “Real Madrid is the most important thing that happened to me, both as a footballer and as a person.”

Zinedine Zidane gets emotional about his experience with Real Madrid now that he has become the sporting director of the richest football club in the world (€438m) and the second most valuable club in the world (€1.4bn).

Considering Real Madrid paid Juventus around €75mn for Zidane and his salary after five years in Spain (2001-2006) reached €61.4mn, it would be fair to say that the Spanish club have been important to Zizou’s life.
