Real Madrid is ''the club of my life'' claims Zinedine Zidane as Frenchman completes Champions League hat-trick with Undecima

Zinedine Zidane called Real Madrid the ''club of his life'' last night after completing an extraordinary hat-trick.

The Frenchman scored the goal that won them their ninth European Cup; was number two to Carlo Ancelotti when they won their tenth; and now he has managed the club to its 11th European Cup.

He said: ''This is the club of my life. It has given me the chance to excel in everything.''

Asked if he would have believed he could lead the side to a Champions League when he was managing the B-team at Christmas he added: ''It something I dreamed about.''

Zidane laughed off suggestions Ronaldo had not been fit.

He said: ''Ronaldo was not injured. He ran so much, fought so much and he was the player who had the last word with the final penalty,' And he had some words of consolation for Diego Simeone who he called 'a brilliant coach.''


Zidane’s end of season run was an incredible guiding the side to 11 straight wins in the league and now their 11th Champions League.

''I am happy with what we have all achieved,'' he said. ''It is not easy to win this trophy. We had cramp at the end but we came through.''
