Zidane vs Tuchel head to head

Zinedine Zidane has a lot to prove against Thomas Tuchel as the German is the only coach whom Zidane has faced at least thrice and not beaten. When it comes to Zidane vs Tuchel head to head, the Chelsea boss has beaten the Real Madrid boss once with three games ending all square.

The two managers first faced off in the group stage of the 2016/17 Champions League, the year when Real Madrid went on to win the double. Although Los Blancos did not drop points too often that season, they yet surprisingly drew twice against Tuchel's Borussia Dortmund. Moreover, the Bundesliga side also took the top spot in the group and had two more points than Madrid.

The two bosses were at it again when their sides met in the 2019/20 Champions League group stages, though this time Tuchel was in charge at PSG. The Ligue 1 side beat Real Madrid comfortably at the Parc des Princes before the two sides played out a draw at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. In total, Zidane has faced as many as 35 coaches thrice or more since taking the job at Real Madrid, and Tuchel is the only manager who he has failed to beat. Moreover, Tuchel is the only coach with whom Zidane does not have a better head to head record.
