Madridthe official debut of "Real" coach Julen Lopetegui ended unsuccessfully - the "Whites" fell after extra time against Madrid's "Atletico" and lost the battle for the UEFA Super Cup trophy.
J. Lopetegui's debut could have ended successfully, as "Real" Madrid led for a long time with a score of 2:1, but a careless play by Marcelo in defense gifted "Atletico" a goal, which led the teams to extra time.
The strategist said after the match that it was a painful defeat, but these matches do not define the whole season and they will not change what they have set out to do all summer.
"We made some risky decisions that we shouldn't have made. But football is about learning from your mistakes and not repeating them. I don't think we lost today because of physical condition, it was because we were not good with the ball. "Atletico" punished us after all our mistakes," said J. Lopetegui.
Asked if there could be changes in the lineup after these matches, the coach replied: "I don't think there will be many changes in the team. We need to forget these matches, lift our heads, and prepare for the start of the "La Liga" championship."
Madrid "Real" will start their journey in the "La Liga" championship on Sunday against "Getafe".
