Zidane: Real didn't deserve this, everything was turned upside down Real Madrid Coach analysed Villarreal defeat

Although Real Madrid slumped to yet another defeat at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, coach Zinedine Zidane refused to blame his players, suggesting that they didn't deserve to lose.

The game was settled by a delightful 87th minute chip by Pablo Fornals.

"We don't deserve this," he said in his post-match press conference.

"I think we played a good match."

For a team that looked unbeatable last season, Real's confidence is shot to pieces.

"It's very difficult for the confidence," he continued.

"We had chances to score but in the end... we couldn't avoid the counter and... it's just very fu**ed up for all the players.

"What we have to do is keep working, because there will come a time and we have to be there.

"Within all the negative things that are happening to us, we are going to look for something positive."

A win would give the Frenchman something to cling onto, even if retaining the league title is just a distant possibility.

"We have to get a win from somewhere,"

"We know the situation and every day it gets more complicated, so we are not even thinking about the League, just about the next match."
