Zinedine Zidane spoke to the press on Monday ahead of Real Madrid's first leg against Liverpool on Tuesday.
The French coach was asked whether he felt Los Blancos had been somewhat underestimated ahead of the duel, and he agreed.
"Well, I think so," Zidane replied.
"In the end, we deserve trust. What we can focus on is the day to day job.
"This team never gives up on anything."
