‘I would not change anything’ - Zidane denies Real Madrid botched Clasico tactics

The Madrid boss believes the risks he took in the 3-2 loss to Barcelona were worth it despite the defeat, insisting his side played "a great game"

Madrid's home loss to Barca at the Santiago Bernabeu saw them leapfrogged at the top by their arch-rivals, who now lead the way courtesy of a superior head-to-head record.

Despite letting the chance to build a six-point lead pass them, Madrid still have a game in hand with which to make amends.
