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”.
