The veteran defender spoke to Mundo Deportivo newspaper before traveling to Saudi Arabia, where he said: “The Super Cup is one of the titles that we care regarding and we have shown throughout our history that we are competing for all titles. It’s going to be tough and complicated but I think we came here in good moments.”
He added, “Real Madrid is a high-level team, but we think we can harm them. In the match between the two teams at Camp Nou this season, their three points were unfair given what happened during the match.”
He continued, “I am optimistic that we will be able to compete well and reach the final.”
He continued, “During the situation in which we are in, every victory greatly supports us and gives us confidence for the coming months and makes us grow as a team. We have not won the Super Cup in recent times, a tournament we used to perform well in throughout our history.”
Pique concluded: “The current system of the Super Cup is more complex and gives everyone more chances to win, it is only one match in the semi-finals and also in the final, and given that the competitors are at a very high level, the matches will be equal and the chances of winning will be 50-50.”
