What managers say

Zinedine Zidane: "[Cristiano] Ronaldo played phenomenally, playing passes to everyone else. He didn't score today but we have a game in four days' time and I'm sure he'll have chances to score then. I look at Cristiano tonight and he has given two passes for the goals. That's part of his game. He didn't score tonight, but he scored three days ago [against Real Betis] and he is contributing. I am happy with him."

Ernesto Valverde: "It was a very bad result for us [against Genk]. Our first half was very poor. In the second half we tried to step it up, but it was very difficult."
