Zinedine Zidane claimed Tottenham were capable of winning the Champions League after Real Madrid humbling defeat at Wembley.
A Dele Alli brace and a goal from Christian Eriksen gave the north London outfit a memorable victory over the Champions League holders and secured their qualification for the knockout phase of the competition.
Real boss Zidane admitted his team were outplayed at Wembley and said after the defeat that Spurs were one of many teams that can win the Champions League this season.
‘Many teams can win the Champions League and Tottenham are certainly one of them,’ Zidane said. ‘We came up against the superior team. They were better in every aspect.’
France legend Zidane also admitted Real were going through a tough period having also suffered defeat at the weekend against Girona.
‘The team is full of champions and we are able to change the run of form we’re in,’ he added. ‘The team wasn’t able to [turn it around] today. What can I say?
‘We’ve lost a Champions League match tonight, that’s two defeats and obviously we’re not happy about it. In terms of the state of mind for the team, it’s not good. We’re going through a bad moment.
‘This is life. You have to accept sometimes things aren’t going to go your way. I’m not going to say things are going great in the dressing room.
‘In terms of the players, they are not happy, they can’t be in this moment. But at the same time we played against a very good opponent. We have the rest of the season to turn it around.’
