SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain (Reuters) - Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said he was disappointed that he was only asked about the referee's decisions after his side earned a 2-1 victory at Real Sociedad on Sunday to climb above Barcelona and top La Liga.
The day before the game, Zidane had been forced to defend his team against a suggestion from Barca defender Gerard Pique that decisions were going Madrid's way after their 3-0 win over Valencia, in which Rodrigo Moreno had an opening goal ruled out.
"But we cannot control what people will say. We win matches on the pitch and that's what we did today. It was a deserved victory." "I didn't see the plays but I've been told the penalty decision was correct and that Benzema's goals were legal," added Zidane."I don't get involved in controversies because that's the referee's job. I just want to think about our deserved victory.
