French national team legend Zinedine Zidane was spotted in the stands on Sunday during a Spanish Segunda match between Cordoba and Granada, reports the Daily Mail. The reason for this unexpected visit was that Zidane's sons were playing for both clubs.
Luca Zidane is the goalkeeper for Granada, while Theo Zidane plays as a midfielder for Cordoba. In this match, the brothers faced each other head-to-head.
It is worth noting that the match turned into an absolute nightmare for Luca. Not only did his team suffer a crushing 5-0 defeat, but he also scored an own goal, conceding the fifth and final goal into his own net. Despite the lopsided score, Theo was unable to score against his brother.
Both Zidane brothers began their careers in the Real Madrid academy. However, Theo never managed to debut for the Blancos' first team, whereas Luca played one match for Real Madrid's first team. He appeared for the Madrilenians in the final round of the Spanish championship in the 2017/18 season, when his father Zinedine was the coach. In the same season, Luca, as the third-choice goalkeeper, won a Champions League winner's medal.
