REVEALED: Why triumphant Sevilla could hear applause from Real Madrid locker room

Sevilla's triumphant players were surprised to hear applause from the Real Madrid dressing room after Sunday's win.

El Chiringuito reports Zinedine Zidane took charge immediately after the 2-1 defeat.

The Real coach, reports Edu Aguirre, silenced the Real change room as soon as he entered: "Zidane gave a motivational talk. He drew the conclusion, a phrase that said: 'I am proud of you'. Then he had the floor taken by the heavyweights, like Sergio Ramos to join his speech.

"What is striking is how the talk ended, with an ovation and applause from all the players. From there they finished changing and Zidane was already going to the press room and the players started to go out to the mixed zone."
