Draw frustrates Zidane

Zinedine Zidane admitted he was frustrated at Real Madrid's third straight draw after Andre Schuerrle's late equaliser ensured a 2-2 stalemate at Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Real's serene run since Zidane took charge in January has hit a minor slump in the past week as Real dropped points against Villarreal and Las Palmas to snap a 16-game winning streak in La Liga.

The defending European champions were heading towards a first win in Dortmund at the sixth attempt in the Group F contest thanks to goals by Cristiano Ronaldo and Raphael Varane.

But Schuerrle struck with three minutes left as Dortmund came back for a second time after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was credited with the goal which cancelled out Ronaldo's early effort.

"The shame is it is three games in a row now which we have drawn," said Real coach Zidane.

"The players played a great match, the result is a difficult one to accept, because we deserved a bit more, but it's not a bad result.

"I think in the first half we suffered a bit, because they pressed a lot and we knew it is a difficult place to come and play against a good team.

"I am very proud of the game we played, but when you concede three minutes from the end it hurts, especially given the effort the players put in."

Germany winger Schuerrle came off the bench to rescue Dortmund's unbeaten record against Real at their Signal Iduna Park stadium.
