Real Madrid coach Zidane satisfied with Atletico Madrid draw

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was satisfied with their draw with Atletico Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo's goal was cancelled out by Antoine Griezmann.

Zidane said: "Happy with what happened in the game. We deserved more today. It's a pity because we had a lot of chances. In the end, we could have lost because that's football but we had many chances. The ball wouldn't go in. We had 10 minutes after their goal that were very difficult and they couldn't score on us. I'm content because we had a lot of intent to play and press. The pity is not to get three points."

Asked if they're dependent on Ronaldo's form, Zidane bristled.

"I am not thinking about this. Cristiano is Cristiano, and all of his life he was this player, scoring 50 or 60 goals every season. And it's true, nobody else does what he does. But there are others that can score and who have done it lately. We have to think positively, but the best is that Cristiano is with us."
