Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum has revealed he wears No.5 because his favourite player as a child was Real Madrid legend Zinedine Zidane.
The iconic Frenchman is now in his second spell as Los Blancos head coach after winning a record-breaking three successive Champions League titles in his first stint at the helm – adding to the multitude of silverware he won as a player with both club and country.
Zidane, who also spent five years at Serie A giants Juventus, famously wore the shirt number and it has inspired Dutchman Wijnaldum to follow suit, wearing it throughout his Premier League career.
