Real Madrid suffered a shock defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final against Barcelona. In fact, had it not been for Szczesny's sending off, the result could have been much worse than it was (2-5).
At the awards ceremony, Florentino Perez wanted to console his captain, Luka Modric, who collected the runner-up trophy for Real Madrid. Accustomed to success, the two engaged in a little conversation.
"We have to lose a final sometime, don't we?" said Florentino Perez to Modric, the last of the players to take the stage, in images captured on “Movistar”.
The truth is that Barcelona went on to beat Real Madrid in a final full of controversy. Gil Manzano had to be alerted on two occasions by the VAR room: to review Camavinga's penalty and to show Szczesny a red card.
