Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane insists he was happy with Isco in defeat to Valencia.

Despite publicly criticising the midfielder after footage caught him mocking Zidane's substitutions, the coach went with Isco for yesterday's 4-1 humbling.

The Frenchman later said: "Isco has tried, he has done well like everyone else. He has run.

"In the end, everyone loses and wins, there is not just one culprit."

On Los Che's three penalties, Zidane added: “The referee is there to look at things. They have given us three penalties and an own goal. Everything has happened to us. It is too much for us today."
