After attending a few matches in Andalusia in recent months, where his three sons still play (goalkeeper Luca at Granada CF, midfielder Théo at Cordoba CF and defender Elyaz in the B team of Real Betis), Zinédine Zidane treated himself to a little pleasure: supporting Real Madrid during a Champions League match. He attended the match against AC Milan on Tuesday evening, only to see his former club lose 3-1 to the Rossoneri.
“Zizou” was obviously not escorted to the VIP entrance since he had to take a short walk around the Chamartin enclosure. The 98 Ballon d’Or tried to go incognito under his cap but he was obviously recognized by supporters and this created a crowd movement around the Bernabéu, with Zidane trying to slip quickly towards its entrance.
Zidane instead of Ancelotti?
The presence of Zinédine Zidane also raises questions, since the Merengues are obviously catastrophic this season and, ten days after the terrible humiliation suffered at home during the Clasico against Barça (0-4), they also collapsed against the Milanese , for their second defeat in four Champions League matches. Real’s face is all the more distressing as the team’s Italian staff has still not found the right formula to play Vinicius, Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham together…
So, is yet another Zidane return possible? The three-time Champions League winning coach is certainly not a candidate for an interim role until the end of the season. Even for a new epic in C1? What is more concrete is that President Florentino Pérez already imagines handing over the reins of the team to Xabi Alonso next summer and that, for the moment, indicates Relevohe does not envisage sidelining Carlo Ancelotti during the season. Even if the Italian Mister is now under pressure.
