Gerard Pique sent a message of optimism despite the defeat to Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup semi-final: “We played very well. In the end, we did not qualify. It's not the result we expected and it's a shame, because losing against Real Madrid always hurts, but I think we're closer to winning. We are competing and now we need that decisive step to start winning.”
The central defender lamented the way Real Madrid's third goal came: “We played very well, we planned the match to look for victory, we took risks to win. In the end, they qualified Balmrtadat. In the third goal, we could not go back in it and they arrived with many players.”
The Catalan defender believes Barcelona are on their way to winning titles again: “I am very proud of the team. Playing like this will make us start winning and competing for titles.”
And Pique considered that Barcelona left a very good image: "After a draw and going into extra time, we played with three defenders in the back, in front of players of the quality of Vinicius and Benzema, we competed against Real Madrid, which is having a very good season."
"We just need to win, and at a club like Barcelona it's difficult when you don't win, but we came close." And he was excited about the players’ recovery: “With many players returning from long injuries and Corona, the team has played at a very high level. This is great news. The only negative thing is that we couldn't win and qualify.”
