Busquets has not given up on the Super Cup
The midfielder points out that Barça have scored three goals in the Bernabéu several times in recent years
"We know it¿ll be hard to win the trophy but we haven¿t given up", he said
Sergio Busquets has said that Barça have not given up hope of winning the Super Cup despite losing the first leg 3-1.
"We know it’ll be hard to win the trophy but we haven’t given up; the game will help us grow as a team,” Busquets said, adding that the team needed to “be very good defensively” to have any chance of winning the Super Cup.
“It’s vital we don’t concede: it’s not easy to score three in the Bernabéu but we’ve done it before. We’ll try to be solid and compact and take control of the tie although we know it will be difficult,” the midfielder said.
Busquets preferred not to comment on Real Madrid’s complaints about the referee in the first leg: “Whether I understand them or not, it’s their opinion, I can’t get involved. It’s up to them to explain why they feel that way”.
On the current balance of power between Real Madrid and Barça, Busquets said the situation as a whole had to be taken into account. “Who is better or worse depends on a lot of things: you can look at trophies in recent years, but the games we’ve played as well recently. We won there in the league. We’re two good teams and anything can happen in each game”.
