Imam Muda Asyraf thrilled to get a peek of Zinedine Zidane in Spain

Being a major fan of football and getting the chance to watch a live football match is a huge enough deal.

And to get a candid moment with a football star just sweetens the deal!

For Imam Muda (IM) Asyraf, the chance to watch the El Clasico match between Real Madrid and Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Spain on Saturday was definitely an experience he will never forget.

This being his first international 'live' match, he is not inhibited to express his excitement through his social media account.

He eagerly announced on Twitter when he reached Barcelona on Thursday and begins to record his travel encounters in photos on his personal Instagram.

IM Asyraf posted a photo of the front page of a local newspaper “De Telegraaf” and also historical buildings and architecture such as the Sagrada Familia church, where he played tour guide to his Instagram followers by sharing a brief history of the church.

He also posted photos of other places including tourist attractions La Rambla and Plaza Espana during his sojourn.

As a football fan, your trip will not be complete if you miss out on visiting the world renowned football stadiums in Spain.

Like a kid in a candy store, IM Asyraf can’t help immersing himself in taking a 'selfie' or two as he visited the Camp Nou Stadium that has been the home for one of the top teams, FC Barcelona ever since it opened its doors in 1957.

The highlight of his trip is definitely getting the chance to watch the two giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona, play against each other, amongst the boisterous cheers of about 80,000 Real Madrid fans.

As if stroke by luck, IM Asyraf also managed to catch a glimpse of ex-France player and now coach of Real Madrid Castilla, Zinedine Zidane leaving in his car.

He took a photo of Zidane flashing a wide smile to his adoring fans as he drove past them outside the stadium and wrote a candid caption that reads: Dapat tegur Zinedane ZIdane dekat tingkap kereta pun jadilah #OldFriend (Being able to say hi to Zinedine Zidane through the car window is good enough.. #OldFriend.”

He also managed to record a short video on his phone highlighting a busload ferrying Real Madrid heavyweights such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Sergio Ramos, Pepe, Karim Benzema and James Rodriguez.

The match ended with Real Madrid taking home the win with 3-1 against Barcelona in the giants’ first meeting on Saturday.
