The head coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, does not consider the defeat in the final of the Spanish Super Cup against Barcelona (1:3) a humiliation.
Carlo Ancelotti"To call it a sporting humiliation is to disrespect us. We lost to Barcelona just as we won a match against them in La Liga. "Barça" was better today. That's all. To say it was an understatement is an understatement. In sports, sometimes you win, sometimes your opponent wins.
This is not a critical situation, but it is a difficult situation. You have difficult moments in the season, and you need to fix it as soon as possible. When you're conceding three goals, you need to be better defensively. We need to work on it. The team has the quality to be competitive in all the tournaments we have left. "Real Madrid usually win finals and we lost this one, but we have a long season left," Marca quoted Ancelotti as saying.
We will remind that the Catalans had a three-goal advantage thanks to the goals of Gavi, Lewandowski and Pedra. In stoppage time, Benzema scored a prestige goal.
