Real Madrid and the Zidane family are a beautiful love story… or not. If father Zinedine became one of the best players of his generation in the Casa Blanca jersey, his sons had more difficulty establishing themselves within the club in the capital of Madrid, as evidenced by the winding path of Enzo after his passage through Fabrica or the fallen hope Luca, today defending the goals of Eibar in the Spanish second division.

It would then compensate for the departure of the Moroccan Chadi Riad to Ivory Coast for the African Cup of Nations and the long absence of the Catalan Marc Bartra, who had surgery on his Achilles tendon last October.
