Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has dismissed criticism of choosing his son on Sunday.

Luca Zidane made his home debut for Real in the 3-2 win over Huesca.

And ahead of their clash with Valencia, Zizou said: "It does not change anything. The people who know me know that Luca is here on his own merits.

"He is a player of this squad, of this club for 16 or 17 years, a canterano.

"We can talk about (Dani) Carvajal, the debut of many players here and Luca is one of them. Then people who think and want to go for the personal side I do not care."
