Zinedine
Zidane doesn’t sound too happy with Lorenzo Insigne’s goal, as he felt it was
against the run of play.
However, Real
Madrid got back into it after Benzema finally scored having gone six matches
without a goal. The striker headed in Carvajal’s cross to restore parity.
Toni Kroos
scored the second goal, before Casemiro smashed in a stunner of a strike to
secure a 3-1 win and the advantage heading into the second leg in Italy.
“That’s the
way football is. It’s a pain that, playing as we did from the start, with that
intensity, they go and score. It’s a bit f***** up,” said Zidane.
“But in the
end, we scored straight away and we got into the game.
“Benzema
showed that he has personality and that, in critical moments, he knows how to
answer in the best way possible – by scoring. I would have liked him to get one
more because he had chances. When he moves in that way, he’s a constant
danger.”
Zidane warned
his players that the tie is far from over, however, with Napoli knowing that a
2-0 win at the San Paolo will be good enough to send them through.
“It’s still
50-50,” he said. “It’ll be a second leg and they will make it difficult. I
would have liked not to concede. It’s a good result, but it’s not decisive.
It’s not enough to settle the tie.”
