Ancelotti ‘proud’ of Real Madrid players after Supercopa final triumph

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was delighted after their Supercopa de Espana final triumph against Athletic Bilbao.

Real Madrid have won the first title of the 2021/22 Spanish season, with Luka Modric and Karim Benzema goals and a Thibaut Courtois penalty save seeing them defeat Athletic Club 2-0 in Saudi Arabia to lift the Supercopa de Espana.

“This is a very good team and very good squad and I feel proud to be the coach,” Ancelotti said afterwards.

“We will now keep competing in the other competitions.

“We have our next match on Thursday [in the Copa del Rey] and it’s an important one.

“These players have already won so much, but they’re still so committed. When you win a lot, you might think you’re the best and not work as hard, but they keep the same level.”

Asked if winning so much can get tiring, Ancelotti pointed out that he hadn’t lifted a trophy since the 2017 DFL-Supercup.

“The last trophy I won was a Super Cup with Bayern Munich, so I hadn’t won anything for a while,” he stated.

“I am happy and enjoy seeing my players happy.”
