Zinedine Zidane’s Legendary 4-3-3 | Real Madrid 2016/17

Zinedine Zidane’s Legendary 4-3-3 16/17 tactic

I recreate Zinedine Zidane’s iconic 4-3-3 tactic used by Real Madrid during the 2016/17 season, where they won the historic treble (La Liga, Champions League, and Club World Cup).

This tactical setup highlights balanced midfield control, deadly counter-attacks, and defensive solidity, featuring roles inspired by Casemiro, Modrić, Kroos, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Benzema.

Zidane’s Real Madrid dominated Europe with intelligent positioning, fluid transitions, and relentless attacking width — and this recreation breaks down how it worked.
