Real must ‘suffer again’

-

ZINEDINE Zidane (pictured) says Real Madrid must heed the lessons from its Juventus scare in order to finish off Bayern Munich in next week’s Champions League semi-final, return leg.

Real took a step closer to a third straight European title after Marco Asensio hit the winner in a 2-1 first-leg comeback victory in Munich yesterday.

But having suffered a scare at home in the quarterfin­als, when Juventus won 3-1 in Madrid after Real had beaten them 3-0 in Turin, Zidane is on his guard.

“We will have to fight in the second leg, nothing is decided,” he said.

“We will have to suffer again and face Bayern in a different way at home, because if we don’t, we could have a bad result next week.”

The hosts took the lead through Joshua Kimmich, but Marcelo equalised before the break. Substitute Asensio hit Real’s winner after finishing a counter-attack to seal the win.
