Madrid's "Real" football players were very close to their second defeat in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, but extended the match with "Monchengladbach" during added time. After the match, the "royal" club's manager Zinedine Zidane was pleased with the character shown by the players, but admitted that his team's situation has now become extremely difficult. "We didn't think the match would turn into such a drama. Still, I am happy with my team's reaction to two missed goals. I think we played well in the first half, but it is extremely painful that one mistake cost us a missed goal. We failed to convert ball control into serious opportunities. We can only be happy that the players showed character. This is an extremely important point. These years will be difficult for everyone, but today I can be proud of my team. If we play like this, we will undoubtedly advance to the next stage," Zidane said.
