statements after the match, saying: “They are annoyed

and what happens but it is like this, even if we
won, and we did the most difficult and scored the goal,
but in 10 minutes they scored two goals in our window.”
Regarding the dismissal of Sergio Ramos and his
absence in the return match, Zidane said: “Well this is
football, we cannot change it, and we have to stay with
