While they remained on a good series of five consecutive successes, the Merengues marked time before a key moment of the season, on this magnificent recovery of the head of Cristian Portu who came to live in the top corner of Thibaut Courtois (55th )… But Vinicius, on a half-volley at the very end of the match, finally got the point of the draw (89th).
Zidane satisfied with his players, less with the result
Zinédine Zidane's men therefore remain bogged down five lengths from their neighbor and leader of the standings, Atlético Madrid (1st, 58 pts), who easily defeated Villarreal on Sunday (2-0) and who will be the next opponent of the " White House »Sunday in La Liga.
“We lose two points at home, but hey, I'm happy with what we did, tempered Zidane in the post-match conference.
