The away goal saw Barcelona win the Spanish Super Cup. After a goalless draw in the Camp Nou, Diego Pablo Simeone appeared before the media to give his impressions on the final. "We can talk about the two games. We played well in both of them and competed with our strengths." He summarised.

The Argentine coach again modified his system playing Koke on the left wing in the line of 5 midfielders. A tactical change that he explained in the press room . "It was to try to break faster on the inside. Switching Arda and Koke gave us and advantage against Alves, when we broke we’d have Arda and Diego coming in from the other wing,” he said.

The end of the match in Barcelona was intense and very controversial due to several refereeing decisions that Simeone did not comment on. "We are here to play, to compete. The referees like us can make mistakes. We will keep working and hope to continue improving."

Although the opposition was the favourite, Simeone 's men did not lose either matches played "The fact that we played well in the two games means we can take something from them. We have grown as a team, shown a huge commitment to the team. I am proud and happy,” concluded the coach.
