Zinedine Zidane has defended his decision to keep Luka Jovic on the bench as Real Madrid were held to a 0-0 draw by Real Sociedad on Sunday.
In their first game of the new season, the reigning La Liga champions dominated possession but struggled for accuracy in the final third as they got just four of their 16 shots on target.
Despite his side needing a goal, Zidane opted to keep Jovic on the bench and instead brought on young attackers Marvin Park and Sergio Arribas late in the match.
