Real Madrid suffered another painful blow against their fiercest rivals, Barcelona, in what was their second consecutive heavy defeat to the Catalan giants. After conceding nine goals across two matches, the mood in the Real Madrid camp was understandably somber.

Amidst the disappointment, only one player stepped forward to address the media – the team’s captain and veteran leader, Luka Modric.

Speaking candidly, Modric shared his thoughts on the defeat and looked ahead with optimism.

“It doesn’t feel nice when your main rival scores nine goals in two matches,” Modric admitted, reflecting on the magnitude of the loss.

Florentino Perez was seen consoling Luka Modric after the 5-2 defeat to Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final. Cameras captured their conversation during Barcelona’s trophy presentation ceremony.

Perez was heard telling Modric, “At some point, we had to lose a final, no?” This moment came as Barcelona celebrated their emphatic victory over their biggest rivals.

The defeat marked a tough moment for Real Madrid, who struggled to contain Barcelona’s dominance throughout the match. Modric, one of Madrid’s key players, appeared visibly disappointed.

Despite the setback, the Croatian midfielder expressed confidence in the team’s ability to bounce back: “I believe we’ll respond. I’m certain of that. We didn’t expect the game to turn out this way, and we’re sorry for our fans and for ourselves. Now, we need to work together, and I’m confident we’ll have our moments to celebrate this season too—there’s still a long way to go.”
