Zinedine Zidane on Real Madrid “character”

Los Blancos knew that a win would set them up well for a final push to qualify for the last 16 of the competition and they delivered accordingly.

Eden Hazard opened the scoring for Madrid with a coolly-taken first-half penalty before substitute Rodrygo scored with his first touch on the hour mark.

In between, ex-Barcelona man Arturo Vidal saw red for complaining excessively to the referee after not being awarded what he deemed to be a penalty of Inter’s own.

Zinedine Zidane, speaking after the game, praised the character and ability of his team and the manner in which they secured what was a vital victory.

“It was an important game, we prepared it well,” Zidane told Sky Sport Italia.
