Already not well embarked this season in La Liga, where Real (4th) is already seven points behind the leader, Real Sociedad (with a game late however), the

and their coach Zinédine Zidane have put themselves in a situation complicated in the Champions League after Tuesday's defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk.

A context that could ultimately threaten the 98 world champion.

“I never thought I was untouchable.

Never.

Neither as a player, nor as a coach, nor as a person, ”assured the French coach on Friday at a press conference, before Real's match against Sevilla on Saturday in La Liga.

“I have done several seasons here, it has always been difficult.

Today, because it is the present, we want to say that it is the most difficult (moment), it's like that, Zizou dismissed, serene.

I feel strong in finding solutions with my players.

Tomorrow [Saturday], we have an opportunity to play a great game against a great opponent ”.

The next matches will be decisive for Zizou

Zidane was criticized by the Spanish press after Tuesday's defeat in Ukraine, and his future could be decided by Real Madrid's results in the next three games, all decisive: Saturday against Sevilla, then Wednesday against Borussia Mönchengladbach (where the Madrilenians will probably have to win to snatch a ticket for the 8th finals of C1), and the following weekend, with the derby against neighbors Atlético.

“The players, what they want is to play, and they've always shown me their support.

It is sometimes forgotten, but they are the first to be unhappy.

We are going to stick together and get out of this bad patch, ”Zidane promised.
