Zidane also explained introducing Eden Hazard from the bench.

He said of Benzema, "I don't think he's tired. I think he did well and I took him off so that another player could play. We're in a great spell. We're doing the right things and we have to continue like this."

And on Hazard, he added: "We have to take it slowly and not force anything. He has to get back to his best and take it slowly. That's all it is."
