<\/p>\n

Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane, fumed over his team\u2019s lack of intensity, after they were beaten 3-0 by Paris Saint-Germain, in their first Champions League game of this season on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 13 times champions were overwhelmed especially in midfield, and failed to muster a single shot on target at the Parc des Princes.<\/p>\n

Former Madrid winger, Angel Di Maria, scored twice in the first half, before Thomas Meunier added a late goal.<\/p>\n

\u201cClearly they were better than us in every department \u2013 in the way they played, in midfield.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat upset me is that we did not put enough intensity in the game and at that level of competition, it\u2019s not possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re good at creating chances, that\u2019s not what worries me. What worries me is that lack of intensity.<\/p>\n

\u201cFailing to create proper chances with the players we have up front \u2013 Gareth Bale, Karim Benzema and Eden Hazard \u2013 is a weird feeling.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can play badly but if you have the intensity, if you fight for the ball, you\u2019re in the game,\u201d Zidane told a news conference after the game.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
