Growing Reputation: By the end of the 1998-1999 season, Zidane had solidified his status as one of the elite players in Europe. His performances at Juventus were key to his eventual transfer to Real Madrid in 2001, where he would go on to achieve even greater heights.
Overall, the 1998-1999 season was a blend of success in the domestic league and a bittersweet experience in the Champions League, but Zidane’s contributions were vital to Juventus's performances during that time. His time at the club is still fondly remembered by its supporters.
