The Spaniard has expressed that his side have no room for complacency since the Spanish Supercup is still far from over.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 head coach, Tito Vilanova, has stressed that winning the first leg has not determined the final result of the Supercopa de Espana as anything is still possible.
The trainer emphasized that La Blaugrana will have to play the second leg of the two-legged final at the Santiago Bernabeu and therefore, anything is still possible.
The first leg of the Spanish Supercup took place at the Camp Nou this past Wednesday. To the joy of the home fans, La Blaugrana managed to secure a 3-2 victory over Los Blancos.
Although it was Jose Mourinho’s men who scored the first goal, they could not keep out the hosts from making a comeback. It was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629 who gave his side the lead in the 55th minute through a spectacular header.
However, Barca equalized in the next minute as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582 was not waved as offside by the linesmen and the winger grasped the opportunity perfectly.
Next up, it was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296 who doubled his side’s advantage through a well-placed penalty.
As the match neared its conclusion, Andres Iniesta tore through the Blancos defence to provided Xavi with an assist which the midfield maestro converted with ease.
At 3-1 it seemed all but over for Los Vikingos, however, a blunder by Victor Valdes allowed Angel di Maria to take full advantage and pull his side back into the fixture.
Hence, the first El Clasico of the season was decided in favour of the Catalan giants. However, the return leg will prove decisive as the Whites have an advantage of 2 away goals.
While talking to reporters, Vilanova was quoted as saying:
"Of course, this result isn't decisive, for either of the teams. The tie is still completely open, certainly against a team like Madrid. They have talented players, they can score from few chances. 4-1 was close, it became 3-2, that's football, it can happen.
But I stick with how we played. Now, off to the Bernabeu."
The return leg of the Supercopa will take place on Wednesday.
