It all seemed done and dusted for Real Madrid away to Levante but for a Giampaolo Pazzini’s 89th-minute equalizer which ensured that spoils were shared between the two clubs..

Zidane’s tactics nearly paid off after substitute Isco who came into the game to replace Gareth Bale put Los Blancos 2-1 up in the 81st minute. Nevertheless, the Frenchman and his entourage had their moods dampened after their hard work was undone at the death by another substitute put into the game by their opponents.

The photograph of Cristiano Ronaldo on the Real Madrid bench with the finger on the lips gesture is already leading the meme and troll pieces that are making rounds on social media.

Moral of the story? Don’t count your chicks before your eggs hatch!
