Zinedine Zidane reportedly spent over an hour before appearing for the post-match conference following Real Madrid’s 2-3 home loss to Shakhtar Donetsk, GOAL reports.

The 13-time champions trailed by three goals at half time before Luka Modric and Vinicius Junior responded early in the second half, but the visitors managed to wreck havoc as they ran away with all three points.

Zidane paraded a depleted side with Karim Benzema on the bench and then crucial player Eden Hazard ruled out of the game through injury.

Zidane said:

“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.”

Los Blancos are scheduled to face Catalan giants Barcelona in what is expected to be another explosive episode of the El Clasico, in the wake of their La Liga loss to newly promoted side Cadiz.

The manager added:

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

“We were not at the level required for this competition. We have to improve.

“We have to be united now. The next game will come quickly and we have to play better. We lacked confidence. We lacked a bit of everything but confidence is the most important thing.”
