Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has warned that last year’s final win over Juventus in Cardiff will count for little in Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against the Italians in Turin.
Real Madrid lifted their 12th Champions League crown — and second under Zidane — with a 4-1 win last May, but the Frenchman insisted “ten months ago was a completely different situation”.

“It will be a totally different scenario,” Zidane told a press conference in Turin on Monday.

“Ten months have elapsed and tomorrow’s match will have nothing to do with that.

“The players are more or less the same but since then our season has not been as good as we expected it to be.

“Juventus have been having a great season.”

Real Madrid are trailing Barcelona by 13 points in La Liga while Juventus are top of Serie A and in the running for a treble.
