Real Madrid won the Spanish Super Cup last night (Sunday) for the 12th time in its history, thanks to 0: 2 over Athletic Bilbao in the final held at the Riyadh stadium in Saudi Arabia, a victory that of course gave the signal for big celebrations of the Blancos players.
It was Real Madrid's 11th victory in the last 12 finals in which it has participated, perhaps on the way to a magical season.
The hero of the Blancos' game was actually goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who provided impressive ability throughout the game and Raul Garcia's penalty kick in the 89th minute, in what could have caused a lot of pressure for the Whites.
"If they had conquered, the last minutes would have passed like a heart attack. I try to keep getting better with time, and can no longer wait for the moment to conquer either. Still, almost everyone on our squad this year conquered, except me," he said with Belgian humor.

Luca Modric, who at the age of 36 continues to be Real's engine, once again provided a performance in an important game including the first goal of the game and was very happy at the end.
"When you reach that age, you realize you have not much time left, and finally start to enjoy every moment, to appreciate the profession more, to see all the good in it. I am in a huge club, and proud to be a part of it. I very much hope to maintain this level. Also in the coming years, and I hope to transfer them as a Real Madrid player as well. "
Real Florentino Perez also did not remain indifferent to the Croatian's game and praised him at the end: "He is in incredible shape, exceptional, something I have never seen before. Despite his age, I think he should win the Golden Ball."

Coach Carlo Ancelotti also complimented the man who won the captain's armband for the first time this year after the departure of Sergio Ramos: "He is a very important player in our most important squad, alongside Tony Cross and Casimiro. As their level drops, we lose control of the pitch. This season. "
Another who has won many hugs from his friends and the media is Karim Benzema who conquered the other and became the most decorated French player ever in world football with 28 career titles.
