Zinedine Zidane has stated that his Real Madrid side are "broken" after surrendering another lead late on in their Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, according to a report inEurosport.
The Madrid boss failed to hide his annoyance at his side throwing away three points for the third time in as many games.
Andre Schurrle's late leveller handed Dortmund a 2-2 draw in Tuesday's contest at the Westfalonstadion to prevent Real from topping Group F after two matches.

Raphael Varane had earlier appeared to wrap up a much needed win for Zidane's charges after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang had cancelled out Cristiano Ronaldo's opening goal.
The result left Los Blancos on a run of three draws in a row after they had enjoyed a run of eight successive wins since their season began on August 4.
Last Wednesday's draw against Villareal was added to with a 2-2 stalemate away to Las Palmas, who also bagged a late equaliser against Madrid, before Tuesday's draw with Dortmund.
Speaking after the game, Zidane was clearly disappointed to see his players chuck another lead away in the dying embers of the encounter.
He said: "We're broken because we played well in defence and attack and played how we wanted to play.
"In the end it's always the same and this is the third game now. I'm broken for the players, because this is not what they deserve.
3 things we learned from #BVBRMA:
-Zidane's still lucky
-CR can do what he wants
-Tuchel needs more time to learn before he takes over Barça
"At the end of the day it's not a bad result, but when you play like this, you feel broken.
"Sometimes football is like this and sometimes you go on a bad run but we're going to keep going and we're going to turn this around."
The former France international added that he expected his side to take their frustrations out on Eibar in La Liga at the weekend.
He said: "We drew while playing well and we're not pleased with these draws but Eibar will pay for this on the weekend.
"We're more sad than happy because we were so close to winning at a very difficult ground. We want to win every game and we've had bad luck but we have to keep working and fighting in our next game."
