5 Real Madrid players who have been affected negatively or positively by the return of Zinedine Zidane

#2 Marco Asensio

The return of Zizou has been a sigh of relief for the Spanish youngster

Marco Asensio broke into the Real Madrid starting line-up as one of the hottest prospects in Spanish football. He stepped up and delivered for Los Blancos when goals were hard to come by.

His meteoric rise continued under Zidane and was considered to be part of the Spanish football team, and was picked to be part of the World Cup squad in Russia.

However, during Santiago Solari's time at the helm, the youngster was marginalized and hardly featured for Los Blancos. The return of Zizou has been a sigh of relief for the Spanish youngster who has started getting more game time.

He has not yet hit top form due to the minutes he spent on the bench, but with time, Asensio will return to his sparkling best and live up to the hype that he had when he burst onto the scene with a 25-metre effort in the UEFA Super Cup.
