Main coach Real Madrid Zinedine Zidane shared his impressions after the victory over Atalanta in the first leg of the 1/8 finals Champions League (1:0).
“The game turned out to be difficult, but in the end the result was positive and important. We scored, but there is a return game ahead, and we must win in it too.
The game 11 against 10 turned out to be not the best, we were opposed by a physically very strong team. In defense, they played reliably, so this is a good result for us.
We scored and didn’t concede. We have a lot of losses, but we continue to do what we get. We play well defensively, we didn’t concede and scored.
Isko It has been a long time since he spent so much time on the pitch, and today he played very well in a position that was not his own. We know what he is capable of giving to the team, and today he performed very well.
Concerning deletingthen I don’t know if it was an excessive punishment. We played not the best match, but the main thing is victory. It doesn’t mean anything considering the return leg, but it was important to score.
After sending off the opponent, it was hard for us to find free space. But the fact that we played against 10 opponents did not depend on us, ”Zidane said.
The dubious red Atalanta in the 17th minute. Is this a foul of the last resort?
