Ancelotti: We were not humiliated, Barcelona was better

Real Madrid lost to Barcelona on Sunday night, in the final of the Spanish Super Cup with a score of 1:3.

Thus, the sworn rivals of “Los Blancos” started the year by winning the first trophy.

But more worrying for many Real Madrid fans was the way the defeat came about.

After the match, Carlo Ancelotti was asked if this defeat was “a humiliation”.

“We gave them ‘gifts’, it started evenly, there wasn’t much pace and avoiding ‘gifts’ is the first thing, but we gave them two. We need to improve our physical condition and play as a team. The mistakes were final. We were not successful at first. Nobody played a good game. Talking about sports humiliation seems disrespectful to me. They have been better, period.” said the Italian coach first.

Ancelotti further said that this is not a decisive moment for the continuation of the season, but only a “bad” part that comes in a season.

“It is not a critical moment, it is a difficult and complicated moment. It usually happens during one season. You know this from the beginning. It can be fixed with ordinary devotion and ordinary attitude.”

“The team is hurt. A lot, because they usually win the finals. We have all the resources to come back. “Real Madrid is coming back, there is no doubt about that,” declared Ancelotti.
