Zidane: There are two competitions left to fight for until the end

Real Madrid waved goodbye to their Copa del Rey hopes on Wednesday night, but Zinedine Zidane is already turning his attention to LaLiga and the Champions League, the two tournaments left for Los Blancos this season.
Although Celta Vigo were able to hold on to secure a 4-3 aggregate win, the French coach was pleased with his side's performance and is confident that they can win more silverware if they play as well as they did in Galicia.
"We have two tournaments left and we'll fight to the end to win them," he said in his post-match press conference.
"We have to think about LaLiga and the Champions League.
"This match is now in the past and we have an important match on Sunday, in another competition.
"Nobody likes to lose, but we're going to keep going.
"If we play likes that, with character and personality, then we're going to keep moving forward."
Analysing the 2-2 draw, Zidane was pleased with the way his depleted lineup carried themselves and insisted that the difference between losing the tie and winning it was marginal.
"We had 35 phenomenal minutes then the goal was unlucky," he said.
"We didn't give up and played a great game right to the end.
"There are some positive feelings in the sense that we played a good game, but nothing more than that as we are now eliminated.
"We only lacked a little bit and we might have found it with one more passage of play or one more minute.
"When you play poorly and deserve to lose it's different, but there is no need to blame anyone for this."
One of the questions put to the Frenchman concerned the team's lack of finishing in front of goal, but he was confident that his players would return to scoring ways and that their misfiring was just a temporary blip.
"I'm not worried about the lack of finishing as that happens in football," he told reporters.
"I'm not thinking about [the form of Benzema and Morata], but I'm thinking about the team and about what's coming up.
"It's true that we didn't score from open play, but from set pieces.
"Tactically we played a great game and made it difficult for the opponent."
Up next for Los Blancos is Sunday's LaLiga clash against Real Sociedad at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, with a kick-off time of 20:45 CET.
