It’s not easy being thrust into the footballing limelight at a young age and that at a club like Real Madrid, with all its history, pressure, might and expectations.

Well, Liverpool transfer target, Marco Asensio, was in that position during a golden period for the Spanish giants when they just couldn’t stop winning Champions League after Champions League.

The legendary Zinedine Zidane was in the Madrid dugout at the time, with then-21-year-old Asensio showcasing the dynamite he had in his left foot.

The Spain international was being bigged up so much that he once shared in 2017 that Zidane himself told him that his left foot was the best he had seen since Messi…yes, the one that is now enjoying his retirement at PSG.

It’s quite the statement and quite the compliment for the now-26-year-old, who probably hasn’t progressed as he would have liked in Spain’s capital…
