How Zidane Spent One Hour Slamming Real Madrid Flops After Shakhtar Defeat

Zidane One Hour Slamming Real Madrid Flops Shakhtar Defeat

Real Madrid slumped to a 3-2 defeat in their Champions League opener against a Shakhtar Donetsk side missing ten players due to coronavirus and injuries.

And Zinedine Zidane took an hour to emerge for his post-match press conference – after reportedly giving his flops an almighty talking-to.

But it’s not just the Los Blancos boss slamming his stars, with the Spanish media hitting out at the LaLiga champions in brutal manner.

AS called them ’embarrassing’, adding: “Madrid fall to Shakhtar’s reserves after a terrible first-half.”

Madrid-based Marca even suggested the team are on a staggering decline – and fear for them in this weekend’s El Clasico showdown.

Marca wrote: “‘Every day it’s worse: Madrid on a free fall.. and Saturday it’s Barcelona”.

And Sport added: “Ridiculous of champions. A terrible level of performance before El Clasico.”

Barcelona-based Mundo Deportivo called it a ‘nightmare before El Clasico’.

After the game, Zidane eventually told reporters: “We lacked the confidence to start the game as we know how.

“In the first half I did not see the team I wanted to see and that is my fault.

“I have to find the solutions that will make us be strong again and get back to winning.
