Zinedine Zidane spoke to the press at the Camp Nou after the draw between Real Madrid and Barcelona. The madridista coach said the following: “I am thrilled with the players attitudes. We played a great game and only lacked a goal but that is football. When you have chances you have to score but we couldn’t do that in the final third”. “We have to congratulate the players because this was a tough place to come and play our great rivals. We did well and feel satisfied. This most important thing is to create chances and play an open game, that is what we did". Proud "We could not score, but we are happy and proud of our players. We scored a lot of goals this season, so the lack of accuracy was down to today's game. The players should be happy with what they did”. Two penalties on Varane “They did not look back at the play and you can’t do anything. I am not going to dwell on these things”.

"After the performance we put in, we could have won the game, but that's the way things go in football. We can't dwell on it any more. The important thing was our attitude and what we did out there throughout the 90 minutes, pressing in their half and getting the ball off Barcelona. We did that pretty well and the only thing that was missing was the goal".
