For all football enthusiast, It would have been observed that the beginning of the season for former Spanish giant Real Madrid wasn’t so pleasing as expected considering the skillful line up of world stars in the club’s team.
Meanwhile, Zinedine Zidane is underway for a sack as he personally admitted the fault to be is, following Madrid’s exit from Copa Del Rey after losing to seemingly little Leganes last night, Wednesday.
You will recall that European champions Real Madrid lost 2-1 in the second leg at Bernabeu as the tie finished 2-2 on aggregate with their modest city neighbours going through on away goals despite having lost the first leg 1-0 last week.
Reacting to the recent failures, Zidane said during an interview.
“I am responsible for all of this. It’s a failure for me,”. You will recall that Zidane recently penned a contract extension until 2020.
Zidane noted that it is the worst experience he ever suffered all through his coaching career. he said.
“It’s a logical result, our opponents played their match and we did not.

“It is a big blow. We did what we had to do in the first leg. Nobody expected this, especially me but this is football.
“I am the manager. I picked the team and I was wrong in many regards. It’s up to me to find the solutions. I will continue to fight, to work, to battle and to find the things the team needs.”
Leganes put on an inspired display, despite having their backs to the wall late in the game, to make the semi-finals for the first time.
Meanwhile, Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale’s absence on Wednesday match might have had a major impact on the club’s performance.
