Coach Xabi Alonso says the Spanish Super Cup is the most insignificant competition of this season.
Real Madrid suffered a 3-2 defeat in the final to Barcelona, a match that was very evenly matched and could easily have gone to penalties, but the Madrid team failed to convert two chances in the end.
"Losing the final? This competition is the most insignificant of this season."
"We have to congratulate Barcelona. It was a close game. We had two chances to equalize the game. We have to get up as soon as possible. This is the most insignificant competition we have."
"When we conceded the third goal, I was 100 percent convinced that we would have chances to equalize and we did, but the ball just wouldn't go in the net. The team showed desire, but we lacked the precision to go to the penalty," he declared.
Meanwhile, Alonso's future remains unclear with Real Madrid's board furious with the Spanish coach and considering his possible dismissal.Telegrafi
