'Madrid are in a bad moment' - Zidane wants more energy after latest loss

Copa del Rey defeat to Celta Vigo left Los Blancos feeling "annoyed" and their coach feeling they are short of their best but refusing to panic

Zinedine Zidane conceded Real Madrid are experiencing a "bad moment" after Celta Vigo condemned them to back-to-back defeats.

Iago Aspas and Jonny were on target either side of Marcelo's equaliser at the Santiago Bernabeu as Eduardo Berizzo's men secured a 2-1 first-leg advantage in Wednesday's Copa del Rey quarter-final.

The setback came after Sevilla stunningly ended Madrid's record run of 40 matches unbeaten at the weekend and Zidane accepts all is not as it should be with the La Liga leaders.
