5 players whose Real Madrid careers might be affected by the departure of Zinedine Zidane

Real Madrid celebrate 13th European Cup crown with fans

Cristiano Ronaldo has been the poster boy for Real Madrid success in the nine seasons he has spent at Bernabeu. The Portuguese forward has broken record after record winning four Ballon d'Or while at Real Madrid tying him to his fierce competitor Lionel Messi at five apiece.

The Portuguese superstar was linked with moves away from the Bernabeu during the reign of Spanish coach Rafa Benitez as it was reported that Ronaldo had problems with the Spanish gaffer.

Ronaldo returned back to form with the appointment of French and Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane and was instrumental in the Los Blancos Champions League victory in 'Zizou's' first season in charge. The Portugal skipper praised the impact of the French Manager at Real Madrid and had been instrumental in their three consecutive Champions League triumph.

However, Ronaldo cast doubt on his Real Madrid future after their UEFA Champions League triumph against English giants Liverpool in Kiev last months. It's going to be very interesting to see where Ronaldo will be playing next season as he has already been linked with several moves away from the Spanish Capital.
