"My advice? Calmness. The final is lost, but next week there will be another party, another competition. Support people and at the end of the year we will see what happens. For my part, I want to unconditionally support Xavi and the players who have to move forward. They have already shown that they have the level, that they have the quality, and this is for a long time," Guardiola was quoted as saying by Marca.

As a reminder, Barcelona lost the Spanish Super Cup final to Real Madrid (1-4).
