SHOTLIST: Estadio de Mestalla, Valencia, Spain. 3rd April 2019.
1. 00:00 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid head coach:
(About Real Madrid dominating the match but not being able to score)
"I absolutely don't blame my players. I think they tried. We were playing against a good team and I think it has been an even match, but the result is what it is. It is a defeat and defeats always hurt."
2. 00:22 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid head coach:
(About whether Real Madrid have lost their fighting spirit)
"Truth is that this is a difficult moment, because this is a difficult season. Now, and especially today, we are more distant… we were talking about ending the season as high as possible (in the table), but I think that with today's defeat it became more complicated. The year has been complicated and now I am not going to say anything. Me and the players, we are going to try, we are going to try to do our best in the next match. I am with them and what they are going to do is to fight until the end. Now it's going to be difficult because we are going to talk about things that… we are going to try to finish well and we are going to prepare next season."
3. 01:29 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Zinedine Zidane, Real Madrid head coach:
(About whether his players will be under scrutiny from now to the end of the season)
"No, they are not under scrutiny at all. I was already asked about this and there's no scrutiny. They are Real Madrid players, we are going through a difficult year and we have to accept it. You have to go through bad moments as well. But nothing is going to change. The only thing is that today we played against a good Valencia, who are a team that have much to fight for and maybe this was the difference. But we are not going to change anything. There are eight matches left to play and we are going to try to finish well."
4. 02:26 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Marcelino, Valencia head coach:
(About the match)
"Throughout the season I had the feeling that we should have made more points, that we should have won more matches, that in many of the games we won we could have won by more goals. But in this season for us it is difficult to score. And it was difficult today as well. We scored with our second chance, but we wasted a few chances where we could have wrapped up the game. We didn't do it almost until the end. But I am satisfied with our performance, with the level of play that we showed, with the superiority we had over Real Madrid."
5. 03:12 SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Marcelino, Valencia head coach:
(About Zinedine Zidane saying that it was an even match)
"I disagree with Zidane. I think we were very superior to Real Madrid and my feeling is that, due to the chances we had, the scoreline should have been greater."

STORYLINE:
Zinedine Zidane placed no blame on his players for his first defeat since his return as Real Madrid head coach after Valencia claimed a 2-1 win at the Mestalla on Wednesday.
The Frenchman had overseen two wins since stepping back into the Real hotseat following the sacking of former team-mate Santiago Solari last month but Valencia were his first acid test.
Los Che had been unbeaten in La Liga since January 5 and they extended that run thanks to goals from Goncalo Guedes and former Real defender Ezequiel Garay, with Karim Benzema's header in injury-time scant consolation.
