Zinedine Zidane chose to let his players enjoy themselves while performing a few dunks and no-look passes ahead of their match against Granada

 It seems that Real Madrid's footballers found a way to enjoy themselves right after Rafa Benitez's sacking. Earlier today, Zinedine Zidane's crew enjoyed themselves playing basketball, with Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos enjoying the training session particularly.

Both of Real Madrid's aces shared pictures via their Instagram accounts, gathering all sorts of comments. But there's a funny element when the Spanish center back talks about this game, since he recalled one dim-witted comment about the sport, which he loved to play during his childhood.

During an interview with Real MadridTV, Ramos recalled that he used to play this sport with his cousins. Then, he told the reporter "some of them liked to play basketball, others liked to shoot some hoops", which is, in essence, the same thing. The player made fun of himself in his Instagram caption.
