Atletico Madrid’s Koke has denied his side’s Spanish Supercopa win over Real Madrid was revenge for defeat in the Champions League final.
New signing Mario Mandzukic’s early goal gave the Rojiblancos the first domestic silverware of the season, something the Spanish midfielder is delighted with.
“It seemed that everything was becoming more difficult with teammates leaving but we trusted in the core of the group and the new players who have come in with excitement,” Koke explained after the final whistle at the Vicente Calderon. “Now, we have started with a trophy at home with our fans.
“It’s not that it’s revenge, we won the League and they won the Champions League. Now we have the Supercopa. We are very proud of the team and the people.”
