Furious with his side's defeat against Wolfsburg in the Champions League, Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane said he was disappointed with the match, but believes that the side can still turn the things around for themselves.

"I'm not happy with how the game went, especially the first half," Zidane said.

Wolfsburg defender Ricardo Rodriguez and midfielder Maximilian Arnold struck a goal each as the hosts swept aside Real 2-0 in the first leg of the Champions League clash at Volkswagen Arena.

Admitting that Real failed to play with full intensity from the start, Zidane said that his side have to evaluate their mistakes and think about the return leg as they still hold a genuine chance to take the game in their favour.

"We have 90 more minutes to try and achieve our objective. We need to be united and continue what we have been doing," the Frenchman was quoted as saying by goal.com.

The two sides will now play their second leg of the quarterfinal at the Santiago Bernabeu on April 13.
