A few months after guiding Real Madrid to the Champions League title in 2016, Zidane was in his first UEFA Super cup as a manager. Real were up against Sevilla at Trondhiem, Norway.

Los Blancos were on the brink of a 2-1 defeat before skipper Sergio Ramos struck home the equaliser in injury time. Real then won the match thanks to a Dani Carvajal winner in the 119th minute. This was Real Madrid's third Super cup.

In the following year, Real Madrid were up against Manchester United at Skopje. This was their second successive Super cup and their fourth overall.

Zidane thus became the first manager to win two successive UEFA Super cups after Arrigo Sacchi in 1990. Sacchi attained this feat with AC Milan.
