On Sunday evening, Real Madrid were beaten by FC Barcelona (3-2) in the Spanish Super Cup final. Los Blancos missed the chance to clinch their first trophy of the season. Facing the media, Real coach Xabi Alonso chose to minimize the significance of this competition.

"We faced two great rivals within just a few days, right in the middle of the season. We're focusing on the positives and preparing for our upcoming challenges. We have to move on quickly. It's just one match, one competition, and out of all the ones we have to play, it's the least important," admitted the Basque tactician.
