Insights from Xabi Alonso

Xabi Alonso shared his thoughts ahead of the match, emphasizing the need to improve upon their previous encounter in the league.

Lessons from Previous Matches

“Every defeat teaches us something, and we have specific things in mind that we are determined not to replicate in this matchup.”

Importance of the Super Cup

Discussing the significance of the Super Cup, Alonso commented, “Two things are abundantly clear: first, it is the most important tournament because it is the next one on our schedule, but in terms of overall priorities this season, it ranks fourth.”
