Real Madrid boss Zidane makes startling admission

Everything has become “very f****d up” at Real Madrid, says head coach Ziniedine Zidane.

The reigning La Liga and European champions crashed to a last-gasp 1-0 home defeat to Villarreal on Saturday – a defeat that leaves them in fourth place in the table.

"It’s very difficult for the confidence," said Zidane.

"We had chances to score but in the end… we couldn’t avoid the counter and… it’s just very f****** up for all the players."

This week’s result leaves Villarreal just a point behind Real Madrid in fifth place, and Zidane admits times are becoming desperate for his side.

"We have to get a win from somewhere," he added.

"We know the situation and every day it gets more complicated, so we are not even thinking about the League, just about the next match."
