Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane has praised Asian football ahead of the Club World Cup final.

Real meet Kashima Antlers in the final on Sunday.

Zidane stated: "Normally, a South American team makes it to the final. This shows that it's getting tougher and another country can make it now.

"Just being Real Madrid doesn't mean we're going to win before we've even played. We must always show fight and play well. Every game is a battle and you have to show the world that you're the better side in every game."
