“Magnifique”: Zinedine Zidane raved about FC Bayern during his visit to Säbener Straße. The 1998 world champion said: “It's not quite as big as other European clubs, but it's very familiar.” The Frenchman described the facility as “magnifique,” (translated: ‘beautiful’).
At that time, Zidsane was still the coach of Real Madrid's second team.
