The Spaniard lauded Los Blancos’ performance in their Spanish Super Cup encounter against La Blaugrana, stating that they could have scored more goals.
Real Madrid assistant coach, Aitor Karanka, is pleased with his side’s display in the Supercopa de Espana.
Despite having lost the first leg of the fixture, the Madridista managed to humble their greatest foes to a defeat. The Spanish giants secured a 2-1 victory in the second leg of the two-legged final against traditional rivals, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604.
The return leg at the Santiago Bernabeu saw the hosts emerge victorious after a final score of 2-1, 4-4 on aggregate, with the first leg reading 3-2 result in Barca’s advantage. In the end, Real Madrid’s 2 away goals proved to be decisive.
It was a stellar performance by the Whites and Jose Mourinho will certainly be proud of what he saw this past Wednesday.
The Supercopa Clasico was certainly eagerly looked forward to, and the match did prove to be quite a treat for football viewers all over the world.
As the match kicked-off, both sides were quick to show their intent. A lot of attacking football was seen on both sides of the pitch, however, it was Los Vikingos who scored the first goal through Gonzalo Higuain.
The Argentine was followed by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629, who continued his goal scoring spree against Barcelona; the Madrid number 7 scored in the first leg as well.
Barcelona’s reply came from the boots of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, who scored through a free-kick.
However, El Pulga’s effort was not enough for La Blaugrana, who were reduced to 10 men after http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Adriano-c3773 was sent off.
While talking to reporters, Karanka was quoted as saying:
"We took the match to them and it swung our way, particularly with the sending-off. We also created a lot of chances. I think we could have scored more. I think that if we'd converted all the chances we had in the first half it would have been more comfortable.
But the important thing is that we won the trophy".
Real Madrid’s Supercopa victory was their first win over Barcelona at home in the past 4 years.
