Speaking at the Festival Dello Sport hosted by La Gazzetta Dello Sport, Zidane reflected on the night Cristiano Ronaldo, Casemiro and Marco Asensio fired Madrid to glory, praising the team’s second-half dominance.
“The best moment of my career after the World Cup? Our second Champions League against Juventus,” Zidane said. “The way we played that second half… it was truly spectacular. I’ve watched it four, five, six times… and I’ve always said: ‘This is football.’ Perfection.”
