He spoke to the press in the build-up to the Madrid derby against Getafe and reminded the reporters present at the conference that Madrid have won the league a record 33 times, a feat that the Catalan giants will not achieve anytime soon.
In case you didn’t know…
The French coach won 3 Champions Leagues, 2 Club World Cups, 2 UEFA Super Cups, 1 LaLiga title and 1 Spanish Super Cup during his first spell at the Santiago Bernebau, producing a handsome return of nine trophies in just in two years and five months as the head coach.
He became the only manager in history to win the Champions League three times in succession, last year with Madrid, following which he resigned.
Between them the two Spanish clubs have won more than 50 league titles and 18 European titles.
The heart of the matter…
Barcelona are on track of claiming their 26th LaLiga title this season, a competition they’ve won seven times in the last decade, in which their talisman Lionel Messi has played a huge role so far.
With the club guaranteed to add yet another silverware to their trophy cabinet as soon as this Sunday, Zidane, who manages fierce rivals Real Madrid made it clear that despite the former’s recent dominance, Madrid are the biggest side in Spain.
He told reporters: (Via Goal)
He conceded that this season has been forgetful for them, but stated that the league title will be the No.1 priority for them next season. He said:
What’s next?
Real Madrid have nothing but pride left to play for the rest of the season, so it remains to be seen whether they can show the same rigor as in the Cristiano Ronaldo era.
They visit Getafe this Friday, looking to continue their winning ways after a comfortable 3-0 win over Athletic last time around.
