Head coach of Real Madrid Carlo Ancelotti spoke about the match with Barcelona in the final of the Spanish Super Cup (2:5).
Bad evening, we are disappointed, like all our fans. We’re disappointed, there’s no point in hiding it, but that’s football. Sometimes you manage to win, but sometimes you have to learn from defeat. We have to look forward, that’s all. Just wait impatiently.
We played poorly defensively and it showed. The opponent found simple ways to score. We defended poorly both when pressing high and when playing with a low block.
At halftime I told the players that they had to start playing football, because in the first half we didn’t do that. We did long casting calls, but the plan was different. I said it was possible to lose matches, but not in the way we played in the first half.
Mbappé was the best.
