However, Zinedine Zidane did not want to bother with the defeat. According to him, Atletico Madrid is better at preparing the team.
“We are preparing for next season and remain calm. We have to reach the summit on August 17, in the first match of LaLiga. For now, we don’t have much certainty,” Zidane said.
