Real Madrid coach Zidane not completely happy after Real Sociedad thrashing

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was delighted with their 5-2 rout of Real Sociedad.

PSG's visit to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday is the first leg of a Champions League tie which includes two of the pre-tournament favourites, yet one will be eliminated at the very first knockout hurdle.

"I know who will play on Wednesday," he admitted in the press conference after his side smashed Real Sociedad 5-2 on Saturday evening.

"We're all prepared and that's the most important thing.

"We need to think about Wednesday, it's a major challenge for everyone."

Despite such a comfortable victory over Real Sociedad, the second half performance from Los Blancos saw a notable drop in quality, something that the former Juventus player noticed.

"We have to correct certain things," he said.

"We had problems in the second half, but I will choose to focus on the positives.

"We scored five goals and enjoyed a very bright start.

"Wednesday is another game."
