Zinédine Zidane was present at the Santiago-Bernabeu stadium on Tuesday evening. Before Madrid's heavy defeat against AC Milan on Tuesday evening (3-1), the Real Madrid legend was seen, creating a human tide around him.
The real star Tuesday evening was him. While the Madrilenians sank at home against the enterprising Milanese (1-3), the legend Zinédine Zidane was the only bright spot in this difficult evening for the supporters of the Iberian capital.
If it wanted to ride on its last great victory in the Champions League, 5-2 against Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid could not resist Paulo Fonseca's AC Milan. Still trailing 3-1 in the final moments of the game, some Spanish supporters preferred to leave the Santiago-Bernabeu stadium before the final whistle. And this, even with the reduction in the gap in Rudiger's score (81st, finally canceled).

Before this fourth match in the regular phase of the Champions League, Madrid supporters had the pleasant surprise of seeing Zinédine Zidane near the Santiago-Bernabeu, who had come for the occasion. Enough to make them euphoric. A special situation, when we know that the current coach, Carlo Ancelotti, finds himself singled out, after the slaps received at home during the Clasico (4-0) and yesterday against Milan (3-1).
After the match, the performance of Carlo Ancelotti's men was strongly criticized, whether by Thierry Henry or the partner of Federico Valverde.
