Zinedine Zidane Heaps Praise on Real Madrid Duo After Starring Roles in Osasuna Win

Zinedine Zidane has steeped teenage duo Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior in praise after the pair helped Real Madrid to victory over Osasuna on Wednesday night.

Vinicius opened the scoring in the first half with a curling effort for his first of the season, before Rodrygo netted within 93 seconds of coming on to secure the points in the second half.

The 2-0 win has lifted Madrid to the top of La Liga, remaining unbeaten in their six league matches this campaign with four wins. A number of stars were rested for the clash, including Gareth Bale and Eden Hazard, with a crunch derby clash with Atletico Madrid next up for Zidane's men.
