Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane admitted that his team were not good in the attack during their 2-0 defeat to Chelsea in the Champions League semi-final second leg tie at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday.
He said that the Premier League side ‘deserved’ to win the semi-final tie but insisted he was ‘proud’ of his team despite their exit.
Timo Werner and Mason Mount gave Chelsea a deserved 2-0 win over the 13-times Champions League winners.
The Frenchman said his team did not do well in the attack even though they enjoyed a huge possession during the game.
“We can say that yes, they deserved the win,” Zidane told beIN Sport
“We fought and tried but they deserved to win and go through.
“The players who have played tonight were fit to play. I’m proud of my boys: we tried, we have got this far – just one game from the final.
“Chelsea played a great match and have gone through and we have to say well done to them.
“We needed to be better going forward. We didn’t have any clear chances, they made a number of them and that’s football.
“But as I’ve said, I’m very proud of my boys. Now we rest and think of the Liga. Of course we’re not happy.
“When you lose a semi-final you can’t be happy and that’s normal. It’s tough to take, but tomorrow we’ll be back out on the training pitch ready to go again.”
