"I'm happy with Cristiano's gesture. It shows that he's a team player and you can see that he showed a nice touch with Karim, who deserved a goal because he'd had a really good game," Zidane explained.
"The most important thing is the atmosphere in the dressing room because we've gone through some difficult periods this season but this dressing room is the best. Ronaldo's gesture is incredible and very important because Karim also deserved to get on the scoresheet because he played really well. He contributed to two goals and it showed that there's a good bond between those two and between the whole team. To keep winning is important," he added.
The Real Madrid boss went to great lengths to praise Benzema's performance, saying: "When he moves in between the lines and gets involved in the play he's very good."
"He's also strong-willed enough to carry on trying to show what he's capable of. He has shown in the most difficult of moments that we always have to count on him because he always turns up in the big games and shows what a good player he is. I have a problem now when it comes to choosing my team with so many players playing well," Zidane concluded.
