After the goalless draw versus Osasuna, Zizou showed his rage against the Spanish league for not delaying the game in the middle of the Storm Filomena.

Spain is suffering the Storm Filomena, its worst storm in decades. In this context, Real Madrid went to Pamplona and played Osasuna in La Liga, with the game ending 0-0. The match was played in a snowy pitch, and both teams were uncomfortable of playing under those conditions.

In the post match press conference, Zinedine Zidane displayed his indignation not only for the match, but also because the squad got stuck in the airport for more than four hours due to the storm. He accused the league of forcing the teams to play something that was not a soccer match.

When he was asked whether his team has been disadvantaged for the league, he refused to answer and said that he had already said what he thought. Real Madrid is now second in La Liga with only Atletico Madrid ahead, and could get further having three matches less to play.

Real Madrid next match will be versus Athletic Club on next Thursday, on Spanish Supercup semifinal. Surely, Zidane and his players will concentrate their efforts in this competition to start the year with a title and get confident for the other tournaments. In the other semifinal, FC Barcelona will face Real Sociedad.
