I’m proud of the team and everything we’re doing”, stated the Real Madrid coach.
Zinedine Zidane appeared in an online press conference after clinching a place in the Champions League semi-finals: “We were able to dig in. That was to be expected in a quarter-final tie. We deserved to go through but we knew it was going to be difficult. We controlled the game well, we worked hard for each other and I’m thrilled for the lads. It was hugely important to make it through to the next round and it gives us a big morale boost”.

“We’re happy to have qualified but we haven’t won anything yet. We’re still alive in both competitions. I’m proud of the team and everything we’re doing, we have to keep it up. We’re just going to think about resting up and then focus on our next game against Getafe”.

Starting line-up
“It’s the option I decided to go with, Valverde as a full-back. He put in a great performance in a position where he’s not used to playing. I’m proud of Benzema, Asensio, Vinicius Jr’s efforts up top. We suffered at times, particularly in the second half”.

Courtois
“He’s our goalkeeper and he’s playing brilliantly. It’s so important to have a keeper with that assuredness, it’s something he’s always given us. He’s doing a fantastic job”.
