It could have been worse for Atletico Madrid if not for their goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who put up a fine performance. Even Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane felt his team deserved more than a point from the match.

“We deserved more than a point. I have to congratulate the players because we were solid once again, we kept a clean sheet and we looked in good shape defensively. We lacked a bit up top but we’re working on it,” said the Frenchman.

“When it’s 0-0 you can always take more risks but we’re focused on that and I’m sure we’ll make things happen. We were up against opposition who were trying to stifle all our attacking options. We could have taken all three points today.”
