Zidane hppier coach after Classico draw

FC Barcelona coach Luis Enrique made no apologies for his decisions as a 90th minute Sergio Ramos goal cancelled out Luis Suarez's opening goal for FC Barcelona to ensure honors were shared in Saturday's Classico between Barca and Real Madrid.

Barca looked on course for a win which would have taken them to within three points of Madrid, but will kick off next six points from the top of the Primera Liga.

"I'm not sorry about any of the decisions I made in the game," said the Barca boss, adding "if the game had ended in the 89th minute nobody would ask me about them."

He was however, unhappy with the defence which allowed Ramos to score from a Luka Modric free kick after a needless Arda Turan foul.

"It's easy to give orders from the dugout, but it's the players who have to do the defending in these situations," he said, while also lamenting chances missed by Leo Messi and Neymar which could have settled the game long before Ramos' equalizer.

"We had victory in our hands and could have killed it off. We deserved to win, but it wasn't to be," he commented.

Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane refused to say if the result was fair or not, "it is what it is and we won another point," he said.

He insisted the six-point lead meant little at this stage of the season. "We have to keep on working," he commented, before highlighting the performance of Luka Modric in the Madrid midfield and the tactical flexibility shown by his players.

"We have a lot of different players who can come in and do different things when we change the shape of the side," commented Zidane. Endit
