UEFA photo on Friday
The team will be having its first photo session of the season on Friday, for UEFA. That will be at
18.00 behind closed doors at the Ciutat Esportiva.
Xavi Hernàndez has now won seventeen titles for FC Barcelona, and was proud of tonight’s
performance. He knows the team is still lacking a bit of fitness, but “we showed we know how
to play. In the end we got the luck to win this Supercup … we are happy because despite
everything, we beat Madrid”.
Disappointed with Madrid
On the rumpus at the end of the match, Xavi said “Madrid’s image was
shameful. The pictures speak for themselves … We believe in footballing justice and justice
was done today”.
Piqué: “We took our chances”
Gerard Piqué said after the match that “this is an important title. We knew
it would be hard because they are better prepared. They were stronger than us but we took our
chances to win the Supercup … it was an intense match that wasn’t decided until the
last minute”.
