Zinedine Zidane's announcement that he was stepping down as Real Madrid's coach on Thursday brought to an end 878 hugely successful days at the club.

During that time he claimed one LaLiga title, a Spanish Supercopa, three Champions League crowns, two European Super Cups and two Club World Cups in the process.

Now with his tenure over, we look back at 10 matches that have come to define Zidane's time at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
