In the world of football, it's very common for players and coaches to be fans of one club and then end up working in another, even their classic rival. And in recent years, the protagonist of this story has won absolutely everything with Real Madrid and is a self-confessed supporter of Barcelona. Believe or burst!

"In Spain there are two teams in which every footballer would like to play: Barcelona and Real Madrid. Between the two I prefer Barcelona. I'm a very Barcelona fan", a young Zinedine Zidane said when he played for Juventus.

Zidane is one of the greatest idols of the Spanish capital club for everything he won. The Frenchman achieved a Champions League as a player, another as a field assistant to Carlo Ancelotti and won three as the head coach of an unrepeatable generation of footballers that had Cristiano Ronaldo at a very high level.

The controversial phrase was said by the Spanish media Don Balon and at that time he confessed: "At my wife's house there has always been a lot of talk about Barça and to me, when I was little, I really liked two teams: Juventus and Barcelona. Now I play at Juventus, maybe in the future I can do it at the Camp Nou. Hopefully I can wear Barcelona's colors".
