Just like many other past managers of Real Madrid, Zidane has had the privilege to feature for the capital club both as a player and as a manager. The upcoming encounter barely has any significance in determining the winner of La Liga considering Barcelona has already clinched the title.
However, with pride and the Blaugrana’s unbeaten record at stake, the French manager will aim to fire his side to victory inside the sacred Camp Nou. In all, Zidane has featured in 18 EL Clasicos, spanning across both his playing and managerial days.
Seven of such games have ended in a win for the current Los Blancos manager with five ending in a draw and the remaining six in a win. Furthermore, eight have been played at the Camp Nou and Zidane has been on the winning side four times, losing side twice and has drawn once.
As a head coach, Zidane is remains unbeaten in his last three trips to Barcelona across all competitions. As such, it is safe to say that he is very familiar with the venue and a lot should be expected from his team in the upcoming clash.
