Las Palmas 0-3 Real Madrid Also had his say on Bale's performance

Juventus welcome Real Madrid to Turin on Tuesday and ahead of the Champions League match Zinedine Zidane has hit out at critics of Gonzalo Higuain, suggesting that people can say whatever they want whilst remaining anonymous.

Following misses with Argentina in midweek, the striker received a lot of abuse on social media.

"Today things are totally different, people can say everything and anything without revealing their name," Zidane explained in his press conference after Real Madrid's 3-0 win in Las Palmas.

"The best way to deal with that is to simply not listen.

"It has happened to Higuain and it can happen to me too."

Real Madrid were never overly tested on Saturday and they can now turn their focus to Turin, while the French coach was pleased with the team's display.

"It's never easy to play a match at this level," he stated.

"Las Palmas needed the points, if they were able to score it would have been much harder for us.

"We have done well today, as after the 15-day break we only had two days to prepare for this game."

Whilst the result was positive, the defending Spanish champions were left rueing the fact Nacho Fernandez picked up an injury that could keep him out of Tuesday's match, although that's a scenario the former Bordeaux star isn't yet contemplating.

"Nacho's injury isn't good, he's very uncomfortable," he confirmed.

"I hope it's not serious and that he'll be with us tomorrow.

"He left the pitch as a precautionary measure."

Bale, who scored twice, was also a topic of conversation in the press conference.

"I am happy with the way he played," Zidane said.

"We'll see on Tuesday if he plays in Turin."

That match away at Juventus kicks off at 20:45 CET on Tuesday evening.
