Madrid legend Zidane – who replaced Rafa Benitez as boss last season – also handed Luca’s brother Enzo a Real Madrid debut in a friendly against Paris Saint-Germain last month.

The midfielder, 21, replaced Lucas Vazquez during a 3-1 defeat to the French champions.

Enzo was made captain of Real Madrid Castilla side last season when Zidane was still boss of the Bernabeu reserve side.
