Real Madrid’s boss, Zinedine Zidane has described his team as magnificent as they claim a third consecutive Champions league trophy on Saturday after defeating Liverpool 3-1 in Kiev.

Speaking in an interview on BT Sport, Zidane said the victory is “Great emotions. To lift three Champions League trophies with this club, this team is magnificent. We don’t quite realise what we have achieved yet.

“We are going to enjoy the moment. We had a complicated season but to finish with this makes us really happy.”

According to Zidane, “I have had a little bit of time to think about what this means. This is the status of this club. It is a legendary club, one that has won 13 Champions Leagues and I am happy to be a part of its history too.”

On whether Gareth Bale’s goal was better than his against Leverkusen, Zidane said, “It is not the same thing but it is just the latest thing we have witnessed. It was magnificent.”
