Lizarazu: Real Madrid coach Zidane achievements just phenomenal

France World Cup winner Bixente Lizarazu has hailed the work at Real Madrid of Zinedine Zidane.

Despite their problems in the LaLiga, Zidane has guided Real to the Champions League quarterfinals.

Lizarazu, who played with Zidane for France, told Le Figaro: "Am I impressed by Zidane's conversion? It's phenomenal what he does as a coach. Winning two consecutive Champions Leagues...

"And it's interesting to see him react in difficulty. He did it with a great deal of serenity, calm and mastery. Real may have been under more pressure than PSG. And Zidane did a great job managing this double confrontation. His team was very strong tactically and mentally."
