Zidane dreaming of sextuple after Club World Cup success
The Club World Cup was Real Madrid's third trophy of the season, but Zinedine Zidane will not be completely happy until they get six.
Zinedine Zidane is ambitiously targeting a remarkable sextuple after "phenomenal" Real Madrid won their third trophy of the season by beating Gremio 1-0 in the Club World Cup final on Saturday.
Madrid never looked like slipping up against the South American champions, dominating from start to finish in Abu Dhabi.
Cristiano Ronaldo ultimately proved decisive, scoring a free-kick in the second half to wrap things up, with Gremio unable to worry Keylor Navas in the Madrid goal.
That title saw them add to their UEFA Super Cup and Spanish Supercopa victories earlier this season and Zidane is still holding out hope of a clean sweep, with the Copa del Rey, LaLiga and the Champions League all still available to them.
"We have the dream that it [sextuple] will happen," Zidane told reporters.
