Zinedine Zidane: It's Going To Be A Difficult Season

Borussia Monchengladbach 2-2 Real Madrid

After Real Madrid dropped points in the UEFA Champions League for the second week running, manager Zinedine Zidane has admitted it is going to be a tough season for him and his players.

Los Blancos followed up their 3-2 loss at home to Shakhtar Donetsk last week with a 2-2 draw with Borussia Monchengladbach on Tuesday night, having initially gone 2-0 down on both occasions.

Speaking after the game, Zidane suggested that he was pleased with the response from his players, but conceded that the 2020/21 campaign is going to be a struggle for everyone.

"We didn't transform the possession we enjoyed into proper chances," he said, according to Goal.

"What I'll take from this experience is how these players reacted. This was a very important point to secure.

"This is going to be a difficult year for everyone, but I'm proud of my team tonight. Playing like this, we'll go through the group to the next round, without any doubt."
