Zidane delighted as Celta Vigo victory takes Real Madrid within 3 points of leadership

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was delighted with victory over Celta Vigo.

The win over Celta takes Real Madrid to within three points of leaders Atletico Madrid in LaLiga Santander. Rotation in midfield could be key going into the final weeks of the campaign.

"We know what the schedule is like and we know there are lots of games to come," Zidane said.

"But the players are fine.

"Yes, two of the [midfielders] are leaving [for international duty] and it's not ideal.

"Now, we have to enjoy this win.

"I don't think the end of the season is going to be complicated - the opposite.

"We have to keep going. We've been playing well lately.

"We're in the final stretch where everything is in play.

"We're doing well physically, we're in great form.

"We suffered a bit in the second half [against Celta], but we interpreted the game well."
