Zinedine Zidane can “stay at Real Madrid for life”, says club president Florentino Perez after the Frenchman became the first manager to win the Champions League two years in a row with a dominant 4-1 win over Juventus.

Real produced a ruthless second-half display after an evenly matched first 45 minutes and put more goals past Juventus in 90 minutes than the Italian champions had conceded in their previous 12 Champions League games.

Champions League talking points

From Ronaldo’s records and Mandzukic’s magic to Zidane’s tactical tweak, the talking points from the Champions League final…

The impressive win crowned a remarkable first full season in charge for former Real midfielder Zidane, who led the team to a first La Liga title in five years and delivered the club’s first European Cup and league double since 1958.

“Zidane can stay at Real Madrid for the rest of his life,” Perez told Spanish radio station Cadena Ser.

Ronaldo: An incredible season

Two-goal Cristiano Ronaldo hailed Real Madrid’s “incredible” efforts after winning the Champions League against Juventus

“Now he is the best coach in the world. He has been our coach for 17 months but he has done everything possible.”

It was Zidane’s stunning volley against Bayer Leverkusen that won Real the 2002 title in Glasgow and last year, five months after replacing Rafael Benitez as coach, he breathed new life into a demotivated team and took them to the Champions League trophy.

“I can’t say whether I’ll stay for the rest of my life but I’m so grateful for the club for everything it has given me,” Zidane told a news conference.

“I played here for a long time and I feel part of the furniture. I’m also lucky to be part of this club and with this squad. Every player in the squad has played their part, and that’s been the key factor this season.”
