Zinedine Zidane spoke to the media on Tuesday ahead of Los Blancos' rearranged LaLiga clash with Sevilla (Wednesday, 21:30 CEST).
Zinedine Zidane's pre-Sevilla press conference: key quotes
Incidents such as Nacho's off-the-field confrontation with Gerard Piqué in what was a bad-tempered Clásico:
"Loads of stuff has always happened [in such matches]. The problem is that now it all comes out: you [the media] know about everything."
Clásico referee told by fourth official that Luis Suárez fouled Raphael Varane in the build-up to Lionel Messi's goal:
"What can I do about it? It was a foul, the referee didn't see it, and that's that."
Wearing black in matches out of superstition:
"I like the colour, that's all. I'm wearing black today too, because I like it. I'm not superstitious."
Real Madrid's injured players "all going to make it"
Injury victims:
"They'll all be fit [for the Champions League final]: Cristiano [Ronaldo], Isco and [Dani] Carvajal. They're all going to make it, 150%."
Will Cristiano play before Kiev?
"It's incredible that he's already walking fine again. That shows his ambition, his desire to get back playing."
Are you thinking about keeping risks at a minimum in the final league games?
"I don't think like that; I don't think about injuries and about what could happen before the final."
Liverpool:
"They have a little of everything. We know what they have in their locker: they're physical, technical, quick. They're an English side who will fight and defend hard."
Zidane ready for high-intensity Sevilla under Caparrós
Sevilla under Joaquín Caparrós:
"He's a coach who instils a high degree of intensity in his teams. That was clear to see [in Sevilla's 1-0 win on Friday] against Real Sociedad. I'm sure they'll push us all the way."
Neymar to Real Madrid:
"He's not my player; I'm not going to get into that. I'm only focusing on finishing the season on a high."
