MADRID (Reuters) - Real Madrid's players feel like they have won a trophy following Zinedine Zidane's return to the club after a troubling 10-month spell in the wake his departure, defender Alvaro Odriozola said.

Zidane resigned as Madrid coach last May after winning a third consecutive Champions League title, but the Frenchman made a remarkable comeback earlier this month when Santiago Solari was sacked.
