Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has given reason why the morale of his players is low during matches lately.

Los Blancos were not so impressive in the first half of their victory over Eibar on Saturday, leaving the initiative to their opponents who drew the first blood by scoring through Barcelona loanee Marc Cardona. But Karim Benzema’s brace saved the day for Real Madrid.

“This season we will win nothing,and we already know that.

“Playing for nothing is hard.”

The former Galactico was keen to direct any negativity away from the first half performance, preferring instead to focus on the improvements after the break.

“In the second half we changed things.

“We ran more, we were together and that changed the game.

“In the end, we must congratulate the players, as they battled hard and helped each other a lot.”
