According to Marca, a few of the Spanish giants' stars questioned the tactician's selection for the game at Valencia after he left Toni Kroos and Ferland Mendy on the bench for Isco and Marcelo.
The latter duo have struggled because of their best form for a long time now, leaving a few of the players wondering why Zidane opted to add them in his line-up despite already missing Casemiro and Eden Hazard after both tested positive for COVID-19.
