"When you're at this club you always have to give the maximum to win. And now we face the biggest game of the season. "The end of league season has been extraordinary. We know it will be difficult against Atletico. As I said, it is 50-50 and it will be from the first minute to the last." Zidane added that he dreamed of playing for Real Madrid, with his stunning volley in the 2002 Champions League final against Bayer Leverkusen one of the best moments of his career. "The best thing that happened to me was to play for Real Madrid. I dreamed of playing for this club, I wanted to wear the famous white shirt," Zidane said. "Now I have the good fortune to train the best club in the world, so I'm a happy man. "Yes, that volley from that Roberto Carlos centre... you only hit one of those once in your career. I tried to repeat it but it was something that happened that night and it was during the final of the Champions League. "There is no explanation for it. You just be happy and enjoy scoring a goal like that.  "I had not won the Champions League and won with Real Madrid with a goal like that. I've been very fortunate to have experienced those moments at Real Madrid."</blockquote>
