Coach Zinedine Zidane of Real Madrid has responded to claims from rivals Barcelona that his team got preferential treatment from referees in their first two games back in LaLiga Santander.

This comes after Gerard Pique intimated that Real Madrid had benefitted from refereeing decisions.

Zidane, however, revealed that his team is not being favoured by the referees.

"What interests me is tomorrow's game," Zidane said during Saturday's pre-match press conference.

"I have my opinion, but I'm not going to say.

"Each person will think what they think.

"All I have to say is that we're thinking about this upcoming game because the truth is that it's all that matters to us right now.

"What we want to do is play on the pitch.

"I am the way I am, it's my way of being.

"I'm like that, I take advantage of everything that affects me in life.

"I'm lucky enough to be able to do what I like and not everyone can say the same.

"I can also complain in life like many people, but as a coach, it will not change anything by talking about one bad thing.

"I am very positive in my life. Whatever happens, is not the most important if you give your all.

"The referees are not favouring us. And that is it."
