The current champion will defend his throne after defeating the Che team in penalty kicks. Benzema put the meringues ahead and Lino equalized for the chess game.
Some say that within a match there are several others, and that theory was applied to the millimetre, in the first semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup between Real Madrid and Valencia. A very entertaining first half, with chances for both teams, and a second that dropped in pace due to injuries from both teams: Militao and Lucas Vázquez in Madrid and Lino in Valencia. With extra time and penalties, the game focused on the physical, and that’s where Ancelotti’s men showed more integrity.

Press conferences and statements from Real Madrid vs. Valencia of the Super Cup
Ancelotti at a press conference: “Knockout games are always complicated. From the beginning of the second half it has been complicated. We are happy because, despite the fact that the team is not at its best, it delivered, with not so good moments but always present at It wasn’t a physical problem because in the end and in extra time we were better”.
“It is normal that we are not at the top and that there are players who have been out of work for a long time, not to mention the problems of Camavinga or Lucas Vázquez. The block has been more compact during the match and Lino’s target play has been a collective foul, there was no pressure on the shooter and the center was not properly interpreted”.
“Camavinga has a bruised knee, Lucas is sprained and Militao is dizzy. Now he was fine. Lucas’s thing seems more serious. Reaching the final is what we wanted, finals are good for us, let’s see what happens. Let’s go to fight to win the Super Cup I’m not worried about how the defense is, Carvajal and Mendy have shown they have recovered and see what happens with Militao and Camavinga We will have a competitive defense on Sunday to have”.
Gattuso at a press conference: “We played 120 very good minutes against a great team, but we have to keep going. Courtois has been proving to be a great goalkeeper for some time, Mamardashvili also made 4 or 5 very good saves. Penalty kicks are lucky and I won such a World Cup. Almeida have shown a lot of quality to play these kind of games. However, the club knows we need a midfielder. I’m not surprised to see Fran Pérez play like this, he has an incredible performance, he should have passed it on to Cavani when he had it, but that’s his virtue, speed and determination in the area. I’m sure this will help him for the future”.
Courtois at a press conference: “In the shootout we were fine, but in the rest of the game it was difficult for us to score. When you get an injury and it kind of brings you down, you have to stop playing. After the World Cup we have it problem solved.” and now i feel 100% and i can help. I want the team the way I want it. We don’t care who we play with, they are two very good teams and it will be difficult against everyone. I’m not worried, but we have to aim sharper and give less, we have to start the games better so that it doesn’t happen to us, Villarreal, for example. We haven’t practiced enough on the shoot-outs, but it’s a matter of watching movies from where they took their previous penalties. However, they can change and I knew Gayá could shoot in the middle”.

André Almeida at Movistar: “Very proud of the team, we’ve been almost perfect. The union has been very important, we’ve shown quality and I think the fans will be proud. We have to keep going like this and I’m sure we’re going to win.” many such games. It’s a shame, I think we deserved to win, but that’s the way it is.”
Frame Asensio in Movistar: “It cost us, it’s a complicated match, with little rhythm, but the most important thing is that we are in the final. Valencia played very well, we continued to push and create chances, but anyone could have won. We wanted to score as soon as possible and avoid penalties, but it happened and we are in the final. I don’t care who passes, be it Betis or Barcelona”
