“What upset me is that we did not put enough intensity in the game and at that level of competition, it’s not possible.

“They’re good at creating chances, that’s not what worries me. What worries me is that lack of intensity,” Zidane added after Real suffered their first defeat of the season.

PSG’s midfield pair of Marco Verratti and Idrissa Gueye made it difficult for Madrid to attack into the final third.

“Failing to create proper chances with the players with have up front – Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Eden Hazard – is a weird feeling,” said Zidane.

“You can play badly but if you have the intensity, if you fight for the ball, you’re in the game,” he added.
