Zinedine Zidane not interested in Gerard Pique's controversial jibe

Zinedine Zidane wasn't interested in engaging with Gerard Pique's view that Real Madrid had an easy route to the Champions League final last season.

The Barcelona defender tweeted about the easy games Madrid had to play, reeling off a list of where their opposition were in their respective league tables. 

"He has his view, his opinion," Zidane said. "We won the Champions League, we battled hard, it was tough.

"Over the course of a Champions League it's very demanding. He said they won the league and are the best team in Spain. If you win the league you have got the right to say that.

"It's a new season. It's not just Barca and Madrid, there are lots of teams in the hunt. We will prepare well and hopefully this year it will change."
