Real Madrid coach Zidane: I hold Agüero in high esteem

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane admits he's a big fan of Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero.

The Champions League second-leg will be held on Wednesday night with the score locked at 0-0.

Zidane said: “I hold Agüero in high esteem as a player.

"He is a fundamental player for them and he's very good. We are going to be aware of him, and the other players. There's not going to be anything special to defend against him. The most important thing is what we are going to do out on the field. I think that Sterling played well in the first-leg. I don't want to give my opinion on one player or another. They are a very strong team who are going to play their game and try to make it to the final."
