He makes the difference," the Frenchman told a news conference. "When he has to be, he is. He is unique and we are happy for him and for the team. And for the people who have helped us in the Bernabeu." A Robert Lewandowski penalty and Sergio Ramos own goal, either side of Ronaldo's equaliser, sent the quarter-final into extra time. But Ronaldo's double and a Marco Asensio goal sealed Madrid's progression to the last four and Zidane felt it was deserved, despite the controversy. "We played against the best team by the way, but we scored six goals and they scored three, so we deserved to go through," Zidane said."We had a lot of chances in the first half and then we were not comfortable."</blockquote>
