2003. Champions League quarterfinals. Real Madrid plays at Old Trafford, and despite losing 4-3 in the "Theatre of Dreams" with a hat-trick from Ronaldo, the whites advance to the semifinals with a 5-6 overall score.

At the end of the game, Zinedine Zidane approaches David Beckham. They exchange shirts and smile after a brief conversation. Now, twenty years later, the Englishman has revealed what the Frenchman told him at that moment.

"Zidane approached me. Zizou doesn't speak much English and it's not that he ever speaks much. He approached me, shook my hand and said: 'Are you coming to Madrid?' Beckham revealed in an interview on Netflix.

"I said: 'Did Zizou tell me that?'. I loved that moment ," added the midfielder, who a few months later would pack his bags for Madrid in exchange for 35 million euros. There he would become Zizou's teammate for three seasons.
