'You have to ask the players if I still have their support' – Zidane on Real Madrid's Copa del Rey embarrassment

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has accepted responsibility for his side's shock defeat to Alcoyano in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday.

Despite Eder Militao giving the Spanish giants the lead before half-time in the round of 32 tie, third-tier side Alcoyano took the game into extra time with an 80th minute goal from Jose Solbes.

The game took a turn for the worse for the minnows when Ramon Lopez was sent off in the second half of extra time, but Juanan popped up to net the winner and take his side into the last-16.
