Real Madrid boss Zinedine opted to rest key midfield duo Luka Modric and Toni Kroos for the La Liga clash. The Frenchman was happy to have won the game and to have given Modric and Kroos a much-needed breather.
“There are loads of games. Luka and Toni were rested today and that’s very important,” Zidane told reporters. “Antonio Blanco came in and he did really well. He did a good job.
“It was a hard-fought win. I’m pleased for all the players because it’s not easy to do what we’ve been doing in every game. We kept another clean sheet and scored two goals. We have to be pleased about that. It was a good win today.” www.operafootball.com
