25 years since Zidane's debut

On August 19, 2001, Zinedine Zidane played his first official match with Real Madrid. It was at La Romareda, in the first leg of the Spanish Super Cup, and the club legend played 80 minutes. The match ended 1-1, but our team lifted their sixth Spanish Super Cup three days later at the Bernabéu, and the first of the 6 titles Zidane won as a player with Real Madrid, after a 3-0 victory in the second leg.
