Top 5 UCL performances by Zinedine Zidane's Real Madrid

#1. Real Madrid vs Juventus / 2016-17

Juventus v Real Madrid - UEFA Champions League Final

Real Madrid were going against Juventus in the Champions League 2016-17 final. No team was the clear favourite as both sides were crowned as domestic champions in their leagues. While Juventus had a solid defence, Madrid had a fierce attack. An unstoppable force was going to try to move an immovable object.

The first half was extremely competitive. The score after halftime was 1-1. Mandzukic had scored a bicycle equaliser after Cristiano's opener.

The second half was totally dominated by Los Blancos. Zidane encouraged Benzema to create more space in the final third and also said to Modric and Carvajal to play a more attacking role. This can be seen in the documentary of La Duodecima. Real were able to break Juventus's high defensive line by making continuous back passes.

Casemiro's screamer gave Real the lead and broke the opponent's morale. Ronaldo scored another one which made him the top scorer of the competition and continued his amazing run in that tournament, and Asensio's goal was the final nail in the coffin. This was the last match of Real Madrid's most successful campaign in their glorious history.

This is my favourite game Real played with Zidane as this was the last game of the 2016-17 season. The 2016-17 squad is one of the greatest teams in the history of football. Real had arguably the best and second best player for almost every position. The way Los Blancos humiliated the Italian giants in the final was something beyond genius.
