Zinedine Zidane blames former Real Madrid president Florentino Perez for the policy that, in his opinion, led to the end of the Spanish club this season.
The Frenchman believes that Perez's policy of "Zidanes and Pavons" - when some of the world's best players are bought and mixed with the club's youth, divided the dressing room.
"It's a disgrace when it's said within the team that 'Zidanes and Pavons' divided us," Zidane told TV channel "Antena3". "Those who talked about 'such spaces' are the same ones who created problems in the team. Problems arose from the number of personalities, players with strong characters, and perhaps a lack of mutual understanding."
Real Madrid has been without any titles for the third consecutive season, which helped the club's talisman and French legend Zidane decide to retire from football after the World Cup.
"Every season there are five or six titles and you can't win them all, but not winning any, that hurts. It's better to step aside," the Frenchman said.
Zidane will play his final match for the royal club on Tuesday against Sevilla, after which he will become the second player of the "Galacticos" generation to leave the club.
The first was Portuguese Luis Figo who moved to Inter Milan.
The third representative of this generation, Brazilian Ronaldo, is likely also on the brink of leaving.
