Zinedine Zidane says Paris Saint-Germain were 'superior to us in everything', as Real Madrid lost 3-0 to the Ligue 1 champions in their opening Champions League Group A game.

Zidane's side failed to register a shot on target in a Champions League game for the first time in 16 years but the former France international shrugged off the speculation over his job.

"I'm not interested in what is said outside the club, the day I pay attention to what's in the press is the day I leave," said Zidane.

"I feel in a strong position and I never give up. I will keep trying until the last minute and as long as the club will give me the chance to continue. I don't feel questioned at all.

"I'm not bothered by the Mourinho speculation.
