Some call it beginner's luck, while others refer to it as sheer talent. Call it what you like, but there have only been two competitions in which Zidane's team have taken part and failed to win.
Barcelona crowned themselves La Liga champions in 2015/16 by a thin one-point margin (91-90) and the Catalans also clinched the Copa del Rey last season, after Celta Vigo knocked Real Madrid out in the quarter-finals.
That is to say, the French manager has guided his team to success in 80 per cent of the competitions in which they have participated with him at the helm.
In his 714 days in charge, Zidane has celebrated eight different titles, giving him a stunning average of a trophy every 89 days.
