“We had a good game. Now we must continue working hard and winning games.
“Everyone knows Zidane was a great player and I’m sure he’ll also be a great Coach, but we’re all professionals and we work hard to try to win every match and every trophy.
“We must continue in this way, as we did before. Nothing has changed and [Saturday] was no different.
“These things happen [regarding Rafa Benitez’s dismissal]. We must move forward.
“It wasn’t my decision and I don’t have an opinion.”
While his teammate Luka Modric has suggested that Real Madrid were right to sack Rafael Benitez.
I’m sorry for Rafa and I’d like to thank him for his work, but to be honest, taking this game into account, I think the change has been good,” he said after the game.
“When you lose, someone always has to pay, but to be honest, you just have to compare this match with our last one.”
