Whilst analysing the Champions League quarter final draw, Zinedine Zidane sprang a surprise by admitting Monaco's Kylian Mbappe almost signed for Real Madrid.
The 18-year-old is one of Europe's hottest properties at the moment and remains coveted by European football's biggest clubs.
"He was almost signed by Madrid, but he went to Monaco," Zidane said at his pre-match press conference for the game against Athletic Club.
"We know he is very good, at his age he is doing something fantastic."
