There is no football fan who did not expect to see Barcelona and Real Madrid meet this coming Sunday in the Spanish Super Copa final.
After the Catalans defeated Sociedad on penalties on Tuesday, last night (Thursday) the Blancos surrendered 2: 1 to the second Basque, Athletic Bilbao and broke the hearts of quite a few people around the world.
Zinedine Zidane and his trainees, who are suffering from an unstable season, woke up in the second half but it was not enough for them to eventually leave Malaga with a promise of a date with the sworn rival.
Zidane himself said after the game: "We did not get into the game well, they pressed and scored two goals from two chances, and it is always difficult to come back from 2-0. We failed in an attempt to start well, we lost some balls that are not very typical of us. "When things are going well you have to keep going, especially now. You have to rest and prepare for the next game. There is no choice. What do you want, that we leave this season?"
The Frenchman added: "We had a good time and a good streak, now we have three games with a draw and a loss, but we have to keep working. It is not a failure, as you say. Failure is not trying.
Marco Asensio who was among the only ones in Real who was in business: “They started very well and it was difficult for us at first, in the end we were equal to them and we had to win, we are sad and angry, father of it football and we have to keep going.
There was no problem of intensity, we tried to go back.
We have other goals and we will have to rise from it. "
Bilbao game hero Raul Garcia analyzed from his side: "We knew we could trust ourselves, and do the job in front of a very tough opponent. That's what characterizes this club, the feeling we must not lose. There were some difficult moments, but we overcame them."
