Zidane's Real Madrid return is like winning a title - Odriozola

Having struggled under Lopetegui and Solari, the defender believes that hopes are sky-high once more thanks to the appointment of the club legend

Alvaro Odriozola is delighted to see Zinedine Zidane back in the Real Madrid hotseat, claiming that the coach's return feels like another title to the Merengue squad.

Zidane achieved an unprecedented three straight Champions League titles during his time on the bench, a unique feat since the rebranding of the famous old European competition.

Madrid subsequently found life without their French legend rather more complicated.
