Zidane’s son makes Real debut
Print Edition
REAL Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane handed a La Liga debut to his son Luca by starting him in Saturday’s 2-2 draw at Villarreal in its final Liga game of the season, making the goalkeeper the third Zidane family member to play for the Spanish giant.
Frenchman Zidane was expected to rest first-choice players in their last game before next Saturday’s UEFA Champions League final against Liverpool but fielded a full-strength side against Villarreal, with the exception of the 20-year-old goalkeeper.
The second oldest of Zidane’s four sons, Luca had a relatively quiet first half as his side took a 2-0 lead and he made an impressive save by tipping a free kick from Nicola Sansone over the bar after the interval. His hopes of keeping a clean sheet were ended as he conceded twice.
Before making his competitive debut on Sunday, Luca had only played two friendly games for Real’s first team.
The former Real midfielder’s oldest son Enzo made one appearance for Real in last season’s Copa del Rey, scoring in a 6-1 win over Cultural Leonesa. He now plays for Lausanne Sport in Switzerland.
Zidane’s youngest sons Theo and Elyaz are part of Real’s youth set-up, creating the possibility that all four kids will follow their father in turning out for the club.
