Watch: Zinedine Zidane lost his rag when Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty

We haven't seen him this angry since...

Robert Redmond

Zinedine Zidane doesn’t appear to have mellowed with age.

The Real Madrid manager was arguably the best footballer of his generation, but there were also times when a red mist descended.

Zidane was sent-0ff 14 times in his illustrious career, including for a headbutt on Marco Materazzi in extra-time of the World Cup final, and appears to have carried that fiery temper into management.

The Frenchman looked livid when Cristiano Ronaldo missed a penalty on Sunday in Madrid’s 1-1 draw with Malaga, scorning the forward and generally looking rather p***** off.

Imagine Rafa Benitez acting this way to a Ronaldo mistake.
