Lopetegui: The work Zidane is doing is extraordinary Real Madrid He spoke ahead of his return to the Bernabeu

Sevilla visit Real Madrid on Saturday in a match that will see Julen Lopetegui return to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

The Basque isn't holding any grudges as he returns one season after being fired by Real Madrid and he praised Zinedine Zidane.

"The work he is doing is extraordinary," Lopetegui said.

"The results and titles he has achieved are worthy of praise."

Sevilla have had 12 losses in a row at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, but Lopetegui isn't looking at that.

"We're not looking at the stats," he said.

"The match will give us what we give to the match.

"We go into it with confidence, even though we know the difficulties Real Madrid will throw at us."

Lopetegui also confirmed that Sevilla will give Real Madrid a guard of honour before the match to respect their Supercopa de Espana win.
