Real Madrid coach Zidane: I'm happy, not just for myself; it was a team effort

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane is delighted for his players after their Champions League win against Manchester City.

For the second time in three years Real will meet Atletico Madrid in the final.

Zidane said: “I'm happy, not just for myself; it was a team effort. I'm happy for the players because what they did tonight was fantastic. We suffered because that always happens in semi-finals, but we've got through to the final and that is what is important for us.

“I'm happy to be leading this great team. I'm happy to be able to enjoy this opportunity that the club has given me, to train these players. We must all keep working together and think about the great things we can achieve if we work together as a united team. We saw that tonight and now we can enjoy the final

. "Tonight we must enjoy the moment all together and with the fans, who were phenomenal. We haven't won anything yet and it will be a difficult game on the 28th May. We need to rest up well for Sunday. That is the good thing about football, thinking about what is in front of you."
