Zidane has applauded his team for their victory against Inter Milan which has fattened their chances of qualifying to the knockout stage of the Champions League from Group B.

The Los Blancos won 3-2 at the Alfredo Di Stefano on Tuesday night – Benzema and Ramos put the Laliga side forward before Martinez pulled a goal back to end the first half.

Perisic levelled the scores in the 68-minute but Rodrygo from the bench replaced Hazard and scored in the 80-minute to help Madrid climb to third, one point from the top spot.

"There's always tension because you're up against a very good team," Zidane said after the Inter victory.

"We suffered, but we have to congratulate the players because they deserved [the win].

"We started very well, pressing high as we like to do, and we did it quite well. Then we went 2-0 up, but we conceded very quickly and we found it difficult to keep going with our football. Then the second half was very even."
