Zidane: "We absolutely did not deserve that"
The French coach discussed Real Madrid's defeat to Espanyol on Tuesday evening, courtesy of a late goal by Gerard Moreno.
Zinedine Zidane discussed Real Madrid's last-gasp defeat to Espanyol at the RCDE Stadium.
"We didn't deserve that"
Result: "We absolutely didn't deserve that goal. We had a really good first half, we created a lot of chances but didn't score. The second half was worse, but we didn't deserve a last-minute defeat."
A blow: "It's a blow because the result didn't fit [the performance]. I don't have to have a go out any of my players. We didn't get what we wanted."
Team selection: "There isn't a 'plan B'. It's a team with 25 players and every match we have to choose a team. Today it hasn't gone well."
Causes: "I don't think there was a lack of tension. We played well in the match. Espanyol didn't create many chances against us. The 1-0 is undeserved, but this is football."
Gareth Bale as the striker: "Things haven't gone well for us. It didn't work for many reasons, not because of one player."
