Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane concedes their LaLiga campaign hasn't been good enough.

Defeat at Sevilla last night leaves Real third in the LaLiga table and 18 points behind champions Barcelona.

Zidane said: "We can't be happy with what we've done in the league in terms of results, but we can be with how we played.

"We're not happy with the first half today, but the second was better. The start of the league season was very difficult."

Zidane fielded a shadow team on the night and found a positive in Dani Ceballos' showing.

"He did well and I brought him off because I wanted to add more depth and attacking options with Mayoral. I'm very happy with him. He's not had much of a run in the side, but it's what this year is about for him."
