10 players we miss watching in El Clasico

#3 Zinedine Zidane

Zinedine Zidane is one of the most special legends to have ever played the game. Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, Best, Di Stefano and perhaps Messi and Ronaldo make up that exclusive list. A true giant of the game in every sense, everything that the Frenchman did on the football pitch oozed class.

One of the original Galacticos, Zidane continues to be held in the highest esteem at the club. Even Barcelona fans would begrudgingly acknowledge the quality of the midfielder. In his pomp, El Clasico represented a match in which he could be king of all he surveyed.

This was the absolute pinnacle of domestic club football, and Zidane was its master. Always.

Elegant in possession but with a rapier’s touch when necessary, no matter the colours that he wore, Zidane was a delight for all football fans to witness.
