Zidane "very happy" with Clasico win

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has revealed his delight after his team came from behind in Saturday's El Clasico to record all the points in a 2-1 win over Barcelona.

Gerard Pique sent the La Liga leaders ahead early in the second period, but Karim Benzema levelled just past the hour, before Cristiano Ronaldo won it for Los Blancos late on.

Zidane admits that his team "struggled at first" due to the confidence of the home team, but says that he was "proud" of how his side responded to falling behind at Camp Nou.

"I'm very happy, particularly with the result; we struggled at first but I'm very proud of the players," Zidane told reporters.

Real Madrid's victory has ended Barcelona's long unbeaten run, which had stood at 39 matches and dated back to the start of October 2015.
