Real Madrid vs Malaga Coach opens the door to signings

After a narrow 3-2 victory over Malaga on Saturday afternoon, Zinedine Zidane appeared in the press room but seemed more concerned with the January transfer window than the action he had just overseen.

With Los Blancos not having their best season in 2017/18, there's long been rumours that the squad will need freshening up, something reporters were keen to stress after another laboured showing.

"In the winter market there will be no exits," he said.

"But anything can happen in terms of arrivals, we will see."

The Estadio Santiago Bernabeu has't been the happiest of places for Real this season, but the win was vital according to the coach.

"We started the game well and scored the first goal quickly, which is important," he continued.

"But everything changed and the second half was very difficult.

"We're happy with the result even though there were other things that were not as we wanted.

"We like to play here [at the Santiago Bernabeu]."

Malaga, like others before them, made life difficult for the hosts, but Zidane preferred to accentuate the positives.

"When the rivals come here, they play their lives," he said.

"We have to be positive because we've won three points and I'm sure we'll make things better.

"What we'd like now is to play seven good games in a row."
