After watching his side drop two valuable points to Celta Vigo on Sunday, there was insult added to injury for French legend Zinedine Zidane who suffered an innocuous challenge from an opposition player.
During his playing days, Zidane was a master at evading tackles from opposing players, however there was nothing 'Zizou' could do about this one.
In what was a rather amusing incident, Celta ace Joseph Aidoo clattered into Zidane after a missed control, knocking him over and landing a boot to the face in the process.
