Real Madrid v Sporting Lisbon, Group Match, UEFA Champions League 2016-17 - Zinedine Zidane deserves the credit for victory


Real Madrid survived a Lisbon scare last night. I think, last night’s winner was Zinedine Zidane. His substitution of Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Toni Kross paid rich dividends for the Los Blancos. Zizou is never afraid to take bold steps when it matters the most. Be it as a player, or as a coach, you will always be amazed by his courage.

His substitues, Lucas Vasquez was threatening in the wing, James Rodrguez infused more agility in between the forward and midfield region while Alvaro Morata challenged Lisbon’s defence which boxed-up Cristiano last night.

I thought, the match would be a cake walk, but Lisbon showed enough determination and intent. They just lacked the finishing touches. 


That pass from James to Moarata let Madrid escape last night, but they need to fix their defence if they wish to win this year’s Champions League again. I think Zidane will fix things, he can lift his men.

Thank You
