We have a lot. It is going to be very difficult but we are happy."In the first half, we were spectacular. The intensity and pressure, and possession of the ball. The second half suffered a little because Barca attacked us." Despite the comprehensive scoreline over the two legs, Zidane – who has won seven trophies since his appointment in 2016 – insisted: "There will not be much difference with Barca."This starts again in La Liga. It's going to be a difficult season." Asensio was at it again at the Santiago Bernabeu, scoring another stunner to send Madrid on their way in the Spanish capital.The 21-year-old sensation – playing instead of Gareth Bale – also netted a long-rage strike in the opening leg last week.</blockquote>
