Zinedine Zidane has promised to fight on as Real Madrid manager, after a 2-0 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk left their chances of qualifying for the round of 16 in the champions league in serious doubt.

Substitutes Dentinho and Manor Solomon scored in the second half, as Los Blancos were beaten for the second time by the Ukrainians.

Zidane’s men lost 3-2 in the reverse fixture at home in October.

The result in Kiev put Shakhtar level on points with Madrid.

The final matchday on December 9 sees Madrid welcome group leaders Monchengladbach, and Shakhtar travel to Inter.

Madrid have now lost five of their last 10 matches in all competitions.
