Final against Juventus will be special, says Zidane

TIL Desk Sports/ Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has said the Champions League final match against Juventus will be a special one. Despite their 1-2 defeat in the semi-final return leg to Atletico Madrid, Real booked their place in the final, which will be played on June 3 in Cardiff.

A close range goal from Isco three minutes before the half-time was crucial as Real entered the summit clash on 4-2 aggregate after a brilliant start by their rivals on Wednesday. For Atletico, Saul Niguez and Antoine Griezmann were the goal-scorers.

“It (the final) will be a special one because it’s a club that also played a very important part in my career during my playing days and I see it as a club which has also given me a great deal. I’m now the coach of Real Madrid, the club of my life, and it’ll be a special final,” Zidane was quoted as saying by club’s official website.
