"That's the difference. In our general play we played very well against Villarreal.

Zidane had Bale, Ronaldo Yusei Kikuchi Jersey and Karim Benzema all fit and at his disposal, although the French striker was made to wait on the bench before being fielded in tandem with his celebrated forward colleagues for the first time in 273 days.

Benzema's introduction in place of Taylor Guilbeau Jersey youngster Borja Mayoral was whistled by a section of the Madrid faithful and Zidane added: "We know we can play in many different shapes. Today was 4-3-3 with Gareth and Cristiano wide, and Borja. And it worked for us.
