“We’re not going to throw in the towel with four games to go, we have to finish the season as strongly as we possibly can”, said the coach.
Zinedine Zidane spoke in the press room at Stamford Bridge after the second leg of the Champions League semi-final. The Madrid manager said: “Chelsea deserved to go through. We did our best, but they deserved to win and go through. The players were prepared for the semi-final and I’m proud of them. They did their best, but we were one game away from the final and Chelsea played really well. They’ve gone through and I’d like to congratulate them”.


“We had a lot of players missing, but now we have four games left in the league and we have to recover and be ready to fight for the league title. It’s really important that we do that. We’ve had a really good Champions League run and we were just one game away from the final. We’re not going to throw in the towel with four games to go now. We have to finish the season as strongly as we can”.
