Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane defended Thibaut Courtois after their thrashing by Champions League opponents PSG.

Courtois was one of the Real Madrid players that struggled to perform, but Zidane didn't want to blame his goalkeeper.

"We're all in the same boat here, I'm not going to single anyone out," he said. "We have to forget this defeat and focus on the next match, the blame is on everyone when you lose."

Los Blancos were lacking inspiration across the pitch but what did Zidane think was the main problem?

"I think it's the intensity," he said. "When there is a loose ball and you put your foot in and you can win duels, [then] you can win matches.

"That's the problem for me."

PSG were without Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani for the game.

"They were better and they deserved the win and we were worse," Zidane said.

"If the rhythm isn't good, it's very complicated, they pressed us well."
