And the programme 'Jugones' says Zidane laid into his team for their display, telling them: "You don't win games just with the badge on your shirt.

"We have to be more intense."

Players told to reflect on recent performances

It also reveals that the Madrid boss urged his charges to take advantage of the international break to reflect on their performances in recent matches.

The Frenchman is then said to have spoken to Los Blancos' president Florentino Pérez, seeking to offer him an explanation for the side's recent winless run.
