ZINEDINE ZIDANE WAS left marvelling at Nacho Fernandez’s goal in Real Madrid’s 7-1 Copa del Rey win over Cultural Leonesa, claiming it was better than his own famous Champions League final strike from 2002.
With Madrid already 5-0 up at Cultural on Wednesday, Nacho latched on to James Rodriguez’s inviting lofted pass to the edge of the area and produced a remarkable scissor-kick.
The Spain international’s effort flew into the top-left corner and Zidane was stunned, even going as far as to say it was better than his own incredible volley that secured the 2001-02 Champions League title with a 2-1 win against Bayer Leverkusen.
“What Nacho did is not normal,” he told reporters.
I’m happy for him. It’s a goal that will go down in history. It is better than mine from ‘La Novena’ [Madrid's ninth Champions League title triumph].
