Real Madrid coach Zidane fed-up with Juventus controversy: It was not robbery

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is fed up with criticism of their Champions League triumph over Juventus.

Madrid won the tie thanks to a controversial 93rd minute penalty which also led to goalkeeper Gigi Buffon sent off, for his reaction.

"I am annoyed that it has been called a robbery," Zidane said.

"Nobody is going to change the history of this club because it is the best club in the world and when you are then you generate jealousy.

"There was a penalty and so I don't know what the talk is about."

Real now take on Bayern Munich in the semi finals and Zidane feels it is evenly balanced.

"It is 50-50, even though we have the first leg there," he continued.

"They are better this year in the sense that they compete well. As a club we know how they are and also as a team, they will make it difficult for us."
