"Real" club from Madrid suffered a defeat in the UEFA Champions League semifinal second-leg match, but that did not stop them from securing a spot in the final. In yesterday's match between "Atletico" and "Real," the "Rojiblancos" players emerged victorious with a 2-1 result, but the "whites" had achieved a 3-0 win in the first leg and advanced. Zinedine Zidane awaited similar matches and did not hesitate to praise forward Karim Benzema, whose impressive run led to the corner goal for "Real" scored by Isco. "I don't know how he managed to get out of that situation. We talked after the match, and he himself couldn't explain it," Zidane said about K. Benzema's run, during which the Frenchman dribbled past three "Atletico" defenders. "This episode once again shows that goals are not the most important thing in football. Of course, he would like to score more goals, but there are other important things. I am pleased with his performance - he didn't score goals, but he played well with the ball and had opportunities. I am happy with the performance of the entire team because we showed that we are a mature team and did not lose focus after conceding two goals. We are very happy to reach the final once again. Every member of this team, especially the players, deserve it. They worked hard every day to reach this stage. Now we face a huge preparation for the final," added Zidane.
