Busquets talks following Super Cup win vs Real Madrid: “We were very superior”

Barcelona took Real Madrid to the cleaners in Riyadh on Sunday night to be crowned the champions of the Supercopa de Espana. The 3-0 scoreline is flattering to the Merengues who were outplayed and outclassed on the night.

Sergio Busquets started the game in midfield and played the entire ninety minutes flawlessly. The defensive midfielder spoke to the media after his team’s win in the Clasico, and Barça Universal brings you the quotes from his interaction with the press.

The captain first expressed his joy at winning the first trophy in over a year and more importantly, with such a dominant performance.

“We’re so happy. We knew it was a great opportunity, and we had to take it.”

The past two years have been a transition period for Barcelona with several stars departing the club and young talents replacing them. Adapting to the new reality took the Blaugranas some time, and Busquets stressed how tonight’s result showed the process was complete.

“We’ve went through so many changes in the club in recent times, and we needed to start winning titles.”

Xavi completely outclassed Carlo Ancelotti tactically at King Fahd International Stadium. For long periods in the game, the men in white seemed clueless as to how to counter the Blaugrana setup, and the veteran emphasised the same.

“We played so well with four midfielders. We were very superior.”

Gavi was immense against Real Madrid and was deservedly the man of the match at just 18 years of age. In ninety minutes, the teenager scored one goal, provided two assists and made three key passes in addition to a big defensive shift. Busquets said that he had no adjectives to describe his teammate and talked about what made him so special.

“I don’t have anything to say about Gavi anymore. You already know how good he is. How he competes, his technique… everything. He is a top player and he will only get better.”
