The gaffer of the Los Blancos, Zinedine Zidane was pleased with his side’s performance but stressed that his side had won nothing yet.
”I’m happy but tired,” he said, reports sports publication Marca. “Everyone has been at a good level. Isco needed the goal, the genius of Kroos or the goal of Modric. Everyone is fine. We have won nothing.
“It was a good game from the start and in the second part, we were even better, being more vertical. And it is not easy against such a good team. But this is only a semifinal, we must rest now.”
An away win against Valencia means Zinedine Zidane’s Real Madrid has overcome yet another substantial hurdle in the title race.
After the match, Valencia forward Denis Cheryshev admitted that it was the team’s lack of concentration that cost them the first goal.
“It was a lack of concentration by all of us,” Cheryshev said. “I think mentally it affected us. After this goal, everything became harder.”
La Liga is enduring an all familiar two-horse title slugfest between the two traditional and veteran giants, FC Barcelona, and Real Madrid.
They are level on with 40 points each to put forth an intriguing tussle.
Real Madrid has qualified for the final of Supercopa De Espana which will be held on Sunday, 12th January at 11:30 pm IST.
