On this day in 2001, Real Madrid signed one of the best players (or coach? ) in history: Zinedine Zidane.

His transfer from Juventus to Madrid was a world-record fee of €76m, which remained unmatched for the next eight years until Cristiano Ronaldo joined Reall Madrid from Man Utd for €96m in 2009.

He made 155 appearances during his five years at Real Madrid, scored 37 goals, added 23 assists and won six trophies for Los Blancos. And we know exactly what he did after he became a coach.

Is he the most technically gifted midfielder of all time?
