Zinedine Zidane says Real Madrid deserve place in Club World Cup final

Zinedine Zidane praised Al Jazira after they forced Real Madrid to come from behind to reach the FIFA Club World Cup final.

Real dominated the match against the UAE Pro-League champions and had 35 efforts on goal but were stunned by a goal on the break from Romarinho just before half-time.
Cristiano Ronaldo equalised in the second half and Gareth Bale netted the winner in the 81st minute with his first touch after coming off the bench.



Bale was also critical of the system but was pleased to make such a successful comeback from a calf injury.
The Welshman, whose future at the club has been the subject of much debate, said: "It's great to score.

"You want to have an impact when you come on as a sub, but the most important thing is that we've won and we're in the final.

"I have to improve a bit, but I have to be patient. I've had a few problems, I have to listen to my body but I'm going to work hard both on and off the pitch to get back to where I want to be."
