Zinedine Zidane believes his Real Madrid team has been unfairly criticised this season and they will be out to prove as much when they face Liverpool in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday night.
A 2-0 win over Eibar at the weekend saw Madrid cut Atletico Madrid's advantage at the top of LaLiga to just three points, while Zidane's side are the only Spanish side still standing in the Champions League.
After a run of nine wins and two draws from their last 11 games, the groans that came with a poor start to the campaign - including a Champions League group stage in which they lost home and away to Shakhtar Donetsk - have faded away but Zidane said they have not yet been given the credit they deserve.
