Real must heed Juventus lesson to beat Bayern: Zidane

Zinedine Zidane says Real Madrid must heed the lessons from their Juventus scare in order to finish off Bayern Munich in next Tuesday's Champions League semi-final, return leg.

Real took a step closer to a third straight European title after Marco Asensio hit the winner in a 2-1 first-leg come-back victory in Munich yesterday.

But having suffered an almighty scare at home in the quarter-finals, when Juventus won 3-1 in Madrid after Real had beaten them 3-0 in Turin, Zidane says nothing is decided despite Real's slender advantage.

"We will have to fight in the second leg, nothing is decided, that showed in the second leg against Juventus," said Zidane.

"We will have to suffer again and face Bayern in a different way at home, because if we don't, we could have a bad result next week," he warned.

The hosts took the lead at the sold-out Allianz Arena through Joshua Kimmich, but Marcelo equalised just before the break.

Substitute Asensio hit Real's winner after finishing a counter-attack to seal Real's sixth straight win over Bayern in the knock-out stages of Europe.

"We can be happy with the result, we had difficulties at the start of the match in imposing our game," said Zidane.

"It's not easy to come and win here, we can do better, but we're happy with the result." Zidane pulled a surprise before kick-off by dropping Gareth Bale, but insisted he does not have a problem with the Welshman.

"I have a lot of quality players here, he has been playing well and I know I can count on Gareth Bale the same way I do those others who also didn't play," said Zidane.

Toni Kroos was unimpressed with Real's performance at his former club.

Wasted chances
==================
"The result is good, nothing more than that. Bayern were probably a bit better than us, but we took our chances well."
"We need another mentality in front of goal, which could have been very different in my opinion."
