Zinedine Zidane: 'Real Madrid players needed win over Las Palmas'

Head coach Zinedine Zidane admits that his Real Madrid players "needed" their 3-0 win over Las Palmas after previously suffering back-to-back defeats.

Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane has admitted that it was "important" for the club to return to winning ways against Las Palmas on Sunday night.

Los Blancos went into the game having suffered back-to-back defeats to Girona and Tottenham Hotspur respectively, as well as facing an 11-point deficit to La Liga leaders Barcelona.

However, goals from Casemiro, Marco Asensio and Isco earned Real a 3-0 victory at the Bernabeu, and Zidane has acknowledged that his players were in need of a convincing result.

The 45-year-old told reporters: "After what happened in the last two games, it was important to win. We scored three goals, kept a clean sheet, got a win. We had difficulties in the first half. In the second half we played much quicker, and are happy with that.

"The players needed it. The previous two games were a difficult blow. But we know we can improve things, and we will, for sure. Today it was important to win."

Real are next in action when they travel to city rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday, November 18.
