Zinedine Zidane, who has been manager of Real Madrid since January 2016, scored in his last game for Real Madrid: a 3-3 draw with Villarreal at the Bernabeu.
"If I take off my coach's suit, I am very happy for my son," Zidane said. "As his coach I am very happy for Odegaard, Alvaro and Ruben too, and for all the players who did great work tonight. Of course when I get home we will talk about it [with Enzo].
"But the team showed a good attitude and intensity tonight, especially considering the 7-1 from the first game. We played a serious game, began strong and achieved what we wanted."
Born in Bordeaux in 1995, Enzo is the eldest of Zinedine Zidane's children and first made an impression as a youth player at Juventus.
