Zidane: Real Madrid treating Dortmund clash as a final

Los Blancos must win at the Bernabeu if they want to top their group with the French coach preparing to take charge of his 50th match for the club

Zinedine Zidane is determined to guide Real Madrid to victory over Borussia Dortmund in a Champions League Group F clash the Frenchman has described as a final.

Madrid are fresh from having secured a last-gasp Clasico draw against Barcelona, but need a win at the Santiago Bernabeu to top their group in Zidane's 50th game at the helm.

"It's a final. It's the last group outing and we're playing at home in front of our supporters, so hopefully we'll put in a good performance," Zidane told a pre-match media conference.
