Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has precluded the chance of leaving his job following his side’s stun defeat against Shakhtar Donestk on Tuesday in the Champions League.
Second half goals from Dentinho and Manor Solomon made sure about a stunning triumph for the Ukrainian champions, who put in a resolute defensive display and adequately hit Los Blancos on the counter-attack.
The result proceeded with a helpless run of results for Madrid, who have now lost five times in their last 11 matches across La Liga and in Europe, similar number of triumphs they have gotten in the equivalent time period.
It was the second misfortune against Shakhtar while they have fallen to league defeats at home to both Cadiz and Alaves, and away at Valencia, while likewise drawing against both Borussia Monchengladbach and Villarreal with Real Madrid news currently focusing in on this concerning run.
Zidane told journalists after the match, according to Marca: “I am not going to resign. We have had difficult moments. It is a bad run in terms of results. It is our reality, but we must continue.
“We know that today was a final and we prepared it very well. We had a great first half, but we were not able to score a goal. There is a game left and we have to win it.
“I have strength and I will give it my all as I always do, just like the players. In the league we did not deserve to win the other day but today we do. You have to raise your head and think about the next game. There is no choice but to think ahead and picking up good results.”
Madrid are away at Sevilla in La Liga this end of the prior week shutting their European campaign at home to Borussia Monchengladbach before a city derby against Atletico Madrid.
