The Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has revealed that Tottenham Hotspur helped Real Madrid win the Champions Lague last season. Zinedine Zidane explained that the quality of Tottenham in their match against Real Madrid is what propel Real Madrid to improve their level of playing to win the Champions League for the third straight time.
This statement is incredibly flattering from the historic Frenchman Zinedine Zidane and something that is probably true. The world of football learned a lot about Tottenham last season during their time playing in the Champions League. Where Tottenham have for long periods of time been considered lightweights in the European game it was in their matches against Los Blancos that they did the most to change that.
They were brave, strong and brilliant going forward. It is a kind of character that they have begun showing in England for several years but had not quite brought about in Europe yet, with that obvious exception being Bale vs Inter 2010.
Zinedine Zidane told reporter :
They are a good young team well-balanced and very committed, We didn’t manage to get our game going or deal with the periods where we
were on the back foot. Ultimately, that poor performance helped to make us stronger, as we made sure that we learned lessons from it as a team.
