Cristiano Ronaldo: Zinedine Zidane 'made me feel special' at Real Madrid

Ronaldo scored 112 goals and made 28 assists in 114 appearances during Zidane's tenure between January 2016 and the end of the 2017/18 campaign.

During that time Ronaldo lifted three UEFA Champions League titles, La Liga in 2016/17 as well as two of his five Ballon D'Ors.

The Juventus forward has spoken of his appreciation of the 47-year-old.

He told DAZN: "The confidence that a player needs doesn't only come from himself but also from the players around him and the coach.

"He helped me a lot. I already had a lot of respect for him but working with him made me admire him more.

"That's because of what he's like as a person, how he talks, how he led the team and how he treated me."

Zidane is already under pressure following a disappointing pre-season with Real, which has included a 7-3 defeat to fierce rivals Atletico Madrid, and a reported high-profile breakdown in relations with star forward Gareth Bale.
