  • Real Madrid may be top of the table, but some stardust is clearly still missing from the side.

    Los Blancos lead Granada – yes, Granada – by a point in La Liga, after playing out a 0-0 draw with city rivals Atletico on Saturday night.

    Eden Hazard is yet to fire since his mega-money move from Chelsea as the spectre of Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored a ridiculous 450 goals in 438 games for Real before departing for Juventus last year, lingers over the Bernabeu.

    But Zidane insists his side can return to their very best without Ronaldo among their ranks.

    “I’m not going to talk about Cristiano’s history now, what he did here, we all know how important he was,” said Zidane in his pre-match press conference. “Do we need to adjust now? Yes, with our current players, we want to keep doing the same things, not to change our ways, the DNA of this club, which is at least to work up a sweat.”
