Real Madrid head coach Khulen Lopetegi commented on the defeat of his team in the UEFA Super Cup.
"Mattress" beat Real Madrid in extra-time and won the first trophy in the new season (4: 2).
"Usually in the finals lose those who make more mistakes, and Atletico - the expert in making these mistakes. The opponent made the score 2: 2 at the very moment when we were in shock. We will gather strength and continue to move forward, "Lupetegi is quoted by the official website of UEFA.
"Atletico competently used those dangerous moments that he created. We approached the extra time when the score was 2: 2. I had the impression that most of us controlled the course of the game. After that, Atletico made the score 3: 2. We had to take risks, and we lost the usual style of playing ".
"In the first extra-time the team played well, but the third goal broke us emotionally. At this point, we lost the match.
We tried in vain to recoup, but could not, and the opponent scored the fourth ".
"These players have won a lot of trophies. Yes, in the championship they did not succeed in everything they expected, but we are focused on the upcoming season, and do not think about the past. We must wake up tomorrow with thoughts about the championship of Spain. There are moments that you need to work on, because if you lose sight of the details in the finale, you lose ".
