On August 15th, Atlanta lost 0-2 to Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup. Atlanta coach Gasperini was not satisfied with the defeat and said that losing to Real Madrid was a regret for the entire team.
Gasperini first spoke about Atlanta’s performance: “We were confident in the game, believing that our style of football could cause problems for Real Madrid. But after Real Madrid scored, the balance on the field was broken, especially our second goal could have been avoided. It is clear that in such an important game, whoever scores first will take the initiative. It is very difficult to turn the game around, just like what happened to us in the Europa League final against Leverkusen.”
Gasperini expressed regret for not winning the championship: “This is a very important experience, although we missed the opportunity to win, I am still proud of the players’ performance. I also feel sorry for the guys, they gave everything for the game and played well, but against a big team like Real Madrid, once you miss the chance, it’s very difficult to find another opportunity to defeat them.”
