ZINEDINE Zidane's Real Madrid was denied a spot at the top of the table after a 2:2 draw against Sevilla on Sunday. 

The defending champions couldn't pass through Athletico Madrid who sits at the top position of the Spanish League with 77 points; just two points away from Real Madrid. 

Zidane, who wasn't happy with the Sunday result, spoke in the Alfredo Di Stéfano press room after the clash. 

The French coach said: "I don't understand anything. There was a handball by Militão, but also by Sevilla. I wasn't convinced by what the referee told me, but that's the way it is, He makes the calls. I'm a bit angry today because I need the handball rule explained to me. But that's the way it is, we're not going to change anything".
 
“We’re happy with our performance, the second half was spectacular. We got off to a slow start in the first 25 minutes, but the second half was really good. The league isn’t in our hands now, but we’ll fight right to the end, until the death”.
 
"We can talk, you can ask me and I can answer, but nothing is going to be clarified now. We have to think about the three remaining matches. I'm also annoyed about the result because we deserved more. The players gave everything on the pitch and deserved the win".
The league isn’t in our hands now, but we’ll fight right to the end, until the death. He said. 

However, Real Madrid is left with three matches; Versus Granada on Thursday, Athletic and Sevilla.
