In the match of the 1/16 final of the Spanish Cup, Real Madrid went to the away match against the representative of Segunda B - Alcoyano - with the hope of a confident advance to the next round.

Galacticos head coach Zinedine Zidane at the post-match press conference tried to maintain composure and a pragmatic approach to assessing the performance of his team.

" And although we had a chance to score more goals in regulation time, we could not do it.

Since I am the head coach of Real Madrid, all responsibility for the result lies with me. I could say for sure that my players were trying to rectify the situation, but at the last moment something always failed.

I would like to note the rival goalkeeper - he made a couple of high-quality saves that helped his team go further "

“I don’t think we need to feel ashamed of the outcome, contrary to popular belief. There are similar games in the career of every football player, nothing like that. Need to keep working. This is another painful blow for us in this difficult season, because we do not like to lose, but no one plans to give up, "

In their next match, Real Madrid will play at a visit to Alaves.
