In the first match for the Super Cup of Spain, Real Madrid beat Barcelona 3-1 thanks to an own goal by Gerard Pique and goals by Cristiano Ronaldo and Marco Asensio. In this case, the main referee of the match, Ricardo De Burgos Bengocea, first appointed a very questionable penalty in the gates of Real, and later found that Cristiano Ronaldo simulated during the game fight and removed the Portuguese from the field.

"We are pleased with the result, but nothing is finished yet. Now you can enjoy the result, but on Monday we will start preparing for the second leg, "Zidane said..

"I'm not going to fixate on what the referee did, because we gave a great match. I'm annoyed with the removal of Ronaldo, maybe there was no penalty, but giving him a card was just ridiculous. Let's see if we can win an appeal, so that Cristiano will play on Wednesday. I'm proud of my players, they played well with ten men and really wanted to win ".

Two goals scored Substitute players - Cristiano Ronaldo and Marco Asensio.

"We do not have the first and second team. We are all one. It is very important that everyone plays for each other. Whoever comes out on the field, he plays well. I, as a coach, are very pleased with this attitude of players to the matter ".

"Asencio did not surprise me. What he does is just phenomenal. Marco is quick, he has a well-placed blow. I am pleased with him and all the other players of the team. It was not easy to go to such a match for 15 minutes, but Asencio entered the game well and made a difference. Иско and Ковачич also have lead a great duel. It should be noted the performance of the whole team ".

"Kovacic acted just fine, but injured the resulting muscle and had to leave the field. I am pleased with Matteo's performance ".

"When Isco moved to Real Madrid, I was close to the team and saw his training. He needed time and regular play at the base. For me, it did not come as a surprise that he makes a difference that he leads the team game. Isco hard to take the ball. I'm happy, he's growing. It is necessary to continue in the same spirit, everything is just beginning ".

The return match between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be held on August 17. Start at 00. 00 Kyiv time.
