Luis Figo won two La Liga titles and the Champions League during a five-year spell with Real Madrid, so he's well qualified to discuss his former club's struggles.
Sportsmail caught up with the ex-Portugal star during Heineken's Champions League Trophy Tour visit to Shanghai this week to see just what he's made of the most turbulent season in the club's recent history.
From Zinedine Zidane's shock return to the future of Gareth Bale, here's what Figo had to say on the big issues at the Bernabeu.

What have you made of Real Madrid's season?
It's not a positive season for Real Madrid, as everyone knows. They are out of all the competitions – in terms of the possibility to win.
The season started really badly and then they changed coach two times.
Were you surprised to see Zinedine Zidane return to the club?
It was a surprise to see him (Zidane) leave and a surprise to see him come back. He knows the club really well and the club knows him really well too.
It was a perfect match in the first experience. Let's see what happens now in the second phase.
