Zidane 'proud' despite setback

Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane said he was proud of his side's display despite slipping further behind Barcelona in the La Liga title race after a 1-1 draw at Real Betis on Sunday.

Zidane cruised to victory in his first two games in charge since replacing Rafael Benitez this month, watching his charges score five goals against Deportivo la Coruna and Sporting Gijon.

But Los Blancos were stunned by Alvaro Cejudo's early opener and, despite dominating the majority of the match, could only reply through Karim Benzema's 21st goal of the season 19 minutes from time.
