Real Madrid made it a dream come true for little Zinedine Zidane, a 10-year-old boy named after the current 'Los Blancos' coach, on Saturday.After learning of his story through MARCA, the club contacted the family of the youngster - who plays for Zaragoza-based side Santo Domingo de Silos - and invited them to the game against Athletic Bilbao, informing them that there would be treats in store.
Real were true to their word. Young Zinedine not only got to visit the Bernabeu, but he also had the chance to meet his namesake and hand over a Silos jersey to him.
The kid, plus his mother Agnita, and his friends Javi and Sebas, were welcomed by Roberto Carlos and Emilio Butragueno, and they watched Real Madrid's pulsating 4-2 win from the presidential box. The boys were also each given a 'Merengues' shirt with their name on the back.
