G.Martino: It hurts to lose in the final, but "Barcelona" has a bright future © EuroFootball.com

Gerardo Martino did not hide his disappointment after the defeat in the "Copa del Rey" tournament, but he claims that this failure will not affect his future at Barcelona.

The Catalans lost 2-1 to Real Madrid. It seems that "Barca" lost all chances to win at least one title this season, as they were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League, and after losing to Granada in the league over the weekend, their chances of defending the champions' title have become complicated.

"I feel a great pain after this defeat. I would like to thank the team's fans who supported us and at the same time apologize for not being able to win," said G. Martino.

"We are not in good sporting form right now, but this team has a bright future. I don't think my future in Barcelona depends on this defeat or on the last week.

Last week was particularly difficult and unsuccessful. Everyone expects victories and goals from this team. Now in the league, we have to give everything we have and fight until the end," concluded the Argentine.
