Zinedine Zidane has defended Real Madrid's form but admits his contract offers no guarantees for his long-term future at the club. Real drew 2-2 with Numancia in the second leg of their Copa del Rey tie, advancing to the quarter-finals having won the first leg 3-0. Lucas Vazquez twice gave Real the lead but Guillermo Fernandez equalised on each occasion. Zidane said: "You can think of it as a bad game or whatever you want but we are convinced we will move forward."

Asked about his contract, he added: "It is already signed. I have until 2020. I go match-by-match, year-by-year, like last year. I cannot look two or three years ahead because having the contract does not mean anything." "I'm happy with the tie (overall), the first leg was important. The downside was the goals before the break and at the end," Zidane said. "It is not easy for players who play a bit less, maybe we ran out of gas. We faced opponents who run until the end and if you physically drop a bit that can happen. "But apart from that I think it was a good game. The draw is not the best result but you do not have to go crazy."
