Zidane puts breave face on Cup exit

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane was keeping a brave face despite seeing his side’s hopes of a domestic and European treble evaporate with a 4-3 aggregate defeat to Celta Vigo in the King’s Cup. A thrilling return leg in Vigo ended 2-2 on the night, but although Madrid were in with a chance of qualifying until the final whistle, Celta’s 2-1 win in Madrid a week ago and the tactical chaos of Zidane’s side were the factors which saw the side from the north-west of Spain go through to the semi-finals and Madrid fall by the wayside.
