'LaLiga makes me happier': Zinedine Zidane claims Real Madrid's latest title triumph is BETTER than his three Champions League victories

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane believes his side’s La Liga title win on Thursday tastes sweeter than any of the three Champions League crowns he has led them to.

Real clinched their 34th league title with a 2-1 victory over Villarreal on Thursday with Kairm benzema striking twice.

The Madrid giants have won all 10 matches since the season returned following a three-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

‘The Champions League is the Champions League but La Liga makes me happier, because La Liga is what it’s all about,’ the Frenchman told Spanish network Movistar after winning his 11th trophy as Real coach, his second league triumph.

‘This is a tremendous feeling because what these players have done is incredible. I am lost for words because I am too emotional.’

This title win will not go down as Real’s most thrilling and they had to grind out a number of victories in the run-in, also riding their luck against Villarreal.
