If there were questions about who calls the shots inside Real Madrid's locker room, Zinedine Zidane has stepped up and showed the world he's the one.
Risking his superstar's fury, the French boss decided to leave Cristiano Ronaldo out of the 19-man squad that will face Deportivo this Saturday. The Portuguese ace will be joined on the sidelines by Karim Benzema, who has been struggling with fitness issues recently.
Zidane's decision might seem a bit odd, considering that the team will be looking to set a new franchise record for most unbeaten games in a row. Apparently, Zidane believes the rest of the squad can pull it off, even if the club's all-time top scorer isn't around.
Here's Real Madrid's squad that will face the Galician club.
