Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has insisted "there are no bad apples" in the LaLiga champions' squad despite players such as Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez not getting much game time under Zinedine Zidane.
Modric has credited the Los Blancos head coach for ensuring that all the players felt part of the group during their recent 10-match winning streak that saw them claim the title.
"In this dressing room, everyone is a good guy, there is no one who creates problems for their own reasons, there are no bad apples," he told Marca.
"(Zinedine) Zidane once again proved to be a great person. He is reassuring and he is very correct in his approach to the player.
"There are always those who do not play as much as they would like, they are not happy and that makes sense.
"But the coach's approach has helped everyone feel part of the team and accept their situation."
