The legend, Zinedine Zidane will announce his retirement from football tomorrow, his last tournament will be the World Cup.

Even though Zidane this season wasn't his real self, it would be really painful for me to see Real Madrid without Zidane. The player who gave many joys to the fans. Every touch he made makes people jump off their seats. There hardly ever was a player who can dribble players and do tricks with such calm. He doesn't have speed as other dribblers, but he has elegance.

His last official game with Real Madrid will be against Seville in Seville, however the last home game will be against Villareal. The Bernabeu will wave goodbye to the player who they loved and enjoyed watching.

Who will ever forget his goal against Leverkusen? His amazing passes, goals, tricks, dribblers and EVERYTHING!

Zinedine Zidane, we will miss you :(. Real Legend of football :star: :proud:

Its a pity that after a marvelous beginning to his Real Madrid career we had to see him deteriate to what he is now but he still gave us some wonderful memories to remember for years. Im going to miss him alot, i dont remember any player that ever played the game as he does :proud:

I worship him. What will football be without Zizou...I'll cry my heart out when I see him leaving..Zizou.... :proud: :proud:

I have listened to his matches on the radio. I've watched him play on TV. I've seen him play live. Even if he will be terribly missed, I can't really be sad. I've been a privileged person

Merci, Zizou!

Will be a sad day, when Zidane hangs up his boots:( . Fortunately players like him never get forgotten and he'll stay in our minds as one of the greatest for the past decade. I think somehow, he will stay connected to the sport. Perhaps some day we will see him again coaching a team. ;)

Will there be some special celebrations etc, to mark his last game, at the Bernabeu? :proud:

Everything has an end..and every good thing has a sadder end...

It's a pity I'll die without watching him on the field.. :frownani: :frownani:

ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE
Zidane is class on and off the pitch, ç
among the best 10 players in the history of the game.

Thanks for the memory, if Florentino ever did something right was to bring the maestro to Madrid.

Damn i shouldnt mention Floro name in the same sentence than ZZ

JR's penalty miss in the semi tonight shows how much bottle Zidane has when he scored that penalty against England in Euro 2004.

A True Legend, with such elegance on the pitch
