WOLFSBURG, Germany (Reuters) - Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane urged his side to remain calm after their Champions League hopes suffered a setback with a shock 2-0 loss at VfL Wolfsburg in the first leg of their quarter-final tie on Wednesday.

The Frenchman, who took over from the sacked Rafael Benitez in January, said the 10-times European Cup winners could still turn the tie around in Madrid next week against Wolfsburg, who are playing in their first quarter-final.
