Sergio Ramos has come out to say that Real Madrid will do everything possible to beat Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Supercopa final on Sunday.
Real defeated Valencia 3-1 in their semi-final, while Diego Simeone’s Atletico came from behind to beat Barcelona 3-2.
Their La Liga clash ended goalless in September, but Sergio knows how good Atletico can be in a final.
He added that Atletico should not be seen as an enemy, as they are only a rival.
His words, “It’s ugly to talk about enemies, it’s a rivalry,”
“I don’t see any team as an enemy, just as a direct rival. Everyone is free to think what they want.
“They’re a difficult opponent, with a great coach and a great team.
“They fight until the last ounce of hope. We are prepared and we will fight to the death for this title.”
On the new four-team tournament for the Copa del Rey, “The format doesn’t depend on us, but on the [Spanish Football] Federation, and they have done it well,”
“The Supercopa has recovered its value, there are now four teams competing.
“It favours us this year as we were one of the invitees.
“Maybe next year, other teams will arrive to compete. It is very well organised. And if the clubs and the Federation benefit…”
On the final, “One of the most important things to enjoy is ambition,”
“We are excited to play another final.
“It is the fruit of the effort and hard work of everyone to enjoy a final against a rival who deserves to be here.
“The goal is to win the title.”
