Luis Figo believes some of the criticism levelled at Zinedine Zidane this season has been unfair, suggesting Real Madrid's detractors have forgotten his previous achievements too quickly.
Zidane enjoyed a brilliant start to his coaching career at the Santiago Bernabeu, leading Madrid to Champions League success within five months of replacing the sacked Rafael Benitez in January 2016.
He then guided Madrid to a Champions League and LaLiga double in his first full season in charge, helping the club become the first to win Europe's elite competition in its current guise for two straight years.
This term things have been somewhat more troublesome, with Madrid's transfer activity coming under criticism and they head in to Tuesday's away league clash with Espanyol 14 points adrift of leaders Barcelona.
