The Real Madrid coach held up his hands after Shakhtar battering

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane took the blame after his team went 3-0 down against Shakhtar Donetsk in the Champions League.

Modric and Vinicius struck in the second half but Madrid fell to an opening day defeat in Europe.

"I am responsible," said Zidane. "The first half was negative for my team so it's something I haven't done well. I'm the coach. I have to find the solution."

The Madrid boss called for calm ahead of the Clasico despite the shocking results.

"We lacked a bit of everything, but above all our confidence, which is the most important thing," said Zidane.

"What is important for us now is to stay calm. It's a bad night and we have to make things better."
