Zinedine Zidane gave his verdict on Real Madrid's performance after his side slumped to a 3-2 defeat against Sevilla in the Sánchez Pizjuán on Wednesday evening.
The defeat: "The defeat was logical, particularly in view of the first half; we created nothing. They played direct football and scored two goals. We improved in the second half and made some chances being more mobile. Their third goal, though, put the game beyond us. We scored but we deserved to lose".
What was missing?: "Rhythm, creativity, movement... we were OK until the last third, and then we struggled".
Performances by the squad players: "I'm not angry because they gave everything. But in the first half we got it wrong".
