Zidane expecting difficult Champions League final

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says he dreamed of playing for the club and has reminisced about his stunning Champions League final goal.

Zinedine Zidane believes Real Madrid faces a tough task in the final of the Champions League against city rival Atletico Madrid on Saturday.

The capital clubs meet in European club football's showpiece occasion for the second time in three years, with Madrid winning 4-1 after extra time in Lisbon in 2014. Zidane's side comes into the final on an incredible run of 12 league wins in a row, although that was not enough to snatch the Liga title from Barcelona.
