Zidane 'delighted'
Zinedine Zidane praised goal-scorers Gareth Bale and Cristiano Ronaldo, who netted twice in a 3-1 victory as Real Madrid claimed a Champions League win at Borussia Dortmund.
Ronaldo marked his 150th European game with second-half goals after Bale's stunning early volley gave Real the lead at Dortmund's Signal Iduna Park
Having also netted twice against APOEL, Ronaldo has now scored four goals in just two Champions League games this season.
"I'm happy for Cristiano... again! I'm delighted for Ronaldo and Bale," said Zidane.
This is the first time Dortmund have lost at home to Real in seven European games while holders Madrid have now scored in 38 successive Champion League games.
"It is difficult to play in this stadium, we have never won here, so this victory was important to us, and the whole game was good for us from start to finish," said Zidane.
'KANE IS ONE OF THE BEST'
Mauricio Pochettino praised Harry Kane after the English striker scored a perfect hat-trick for Tottenham Hotspur in their second Champions League match.
After scoring twice in the opening group stage win over Borussia Dortmund, Kane added to his European tally with three goals in Cyprus using both feet and his head.
"He has unbelievable skills in front of goal. He is on another level. He is a killer, Harry has this special skill," Pochettino said.
When asked whether Kane is on the same level as four-times Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo, the Argentine coach did not give a straight answer but did laud the Englishman as one of the best.
"He scored three goals, he is one of the best, he is unbelievable," he said after Kane reached 34 goals for his club during the calendar year, three more than the Portuguese.
