Zinedine Zidane Hugs Each Member of the Real Madrid Team Before Roma Win

Zinedine Zidane's arrival at the Santiago Bernabeu has had quite the effect.

The well-respected Frenchman took over from Rafa Benitez in early January and has overseen six wins and a draw in his first seven games in charge.

His Real Madrid side took a big step toward the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals with a 2-0 away victory over AS Roma on Wednesday night.

And now footage has emerged of Zidane, a former Madrid legend himself, giving each and every one of his matchday squad (all right, Toni Kroos was a little too fast for him) a motivating hug before kick-off at the Stadio Olimpico.

Madrid travel to Malaga in La Liga on Sunday.
