The chief strategist of Madrid's "Real" team Zinedine Zidane has entered the history of Spanish football, but achieving a new unbeaten streak in European competitions will no longer be possible for the "white" team.
40 consecutive matches - that's how the "Real" team has recently marched without tasting defeat. However, the fairy tale had to end someday and it ended in Seville - in the 18th round of the "La Liga" championship "Real" lost to "Sevilla" with a score of 1-2.
"We relaxed in the last five minutes and the opponents had enough for a positive result," Zizou said at the press conference. - It's very hard to come to terms with that, but that's football."
"For 85 minutes, we were successful. Throughout this game, we played with concentration, but the lost focus in the last five minutes cost us dearly.
We have to accept this result. We knew we could lose and we will use this lesson in the next matches. We also knew that the unbeaten series would end someday, but we need to continue working.
I have always said that the season is very long and there are no premature victories. Of course, we were unlucky with own goals, but that can happen to anyone. I want to congratulate the opponents, who have shown that they are serious contenders for the champion's title," concluded the strategist.
"Real" remains the leader of the Spanish championship, but has only a one-point advantage over "Sevilla" and a match in reserve.
