Real Madrid suffered a shock defeat in the Spanish Super Cup final<\/a> against Barcelona. In fact, had it not been for Szczesny's sending off, the result could have been much worse<\/strong> than it was (2-5).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

At the awards ceremony, Florentino Perez wanted to console his captain<\/strong>, Luka Modric<\/a>, who collected the runner-up trophy for Real Madrid. Accustomed to success, the two engaged in a little conversation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"We have to lose a final sometime, don't we<\/strong>?" said Florentino Perez to Modric, the last of the players to take the stage, in images captured on “Movistar”.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The truth is that Barcelona went on to beat Real Madrid in a final full of controversy<\/strong>. Gil Manzano had to be alerted on two occasions by the VAR room: to review Camavinga's penalty and to show Szczesny a red card.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n
