Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane could only hold his hands up after his side were outclassed by Paris Saint-Germain in their opening Champions League game of the season on Wednesday, going down 3-0 in the French capital.
"They were superior to us in everything," Zidane admitted after the match at the Parc des Princes.
"In terms of how they played, in midfield, but above all, and what annoys me the most, in terms of intensity."
Writing in Spanish sports daily As, Alfredo Relano remarked "Madrid are not in good shape, others know it and their opponents no longer crouch down before them out of respect for their prestige."
