Real Madrid coach Zidane: I'm annoyed for my players; a new striker?

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane insists he doesn't need to sign a new striker after their 0-0 draw with Athletic Bilbao.

Zidane says they did enough to beat Bilbao on the day.

He said, "I'm annoyed for my players because they deserved more today. Just that.

"Making a match like that I would have liked a goal for them, but it was not possible. You have to be calm. The important thing is to give one hundred percent and today we have given more, at all levels.

"We have lacked a goal, but that's it. I can't reproach my players anything."

Asked if he needs to buy a striker, Zidane was emphatic: "No, absolutely not."
