Gazzaev: Barcelona’s Crushing Victory Over Real Madrid Was Not Surprising

Former CSKA Moscow head coach Valery Gazzaev has shared his perspective on Barcelona’s impressive 5-2 victory over Real Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final. According to Gazzaev, the lopsided result did not come as a surprise to him.

“We’ve already seen a similar outcome in their league match this season, where Barcelona secured a convincing win,” Gazzaev explained. “The coach implemented the right tactics, leading to a confident and well-deserved victory for the team.”

Gazzaev admitted to favoring Barcelona, citing their distinct playing style as opposed to Real Madrid’s reliance on individual player strengths. He acknowledged that both clubs are part of football’s elite, attracting millions of fans worldwide. However, he believes that Barcelona currently demonstrates superior development and quality of play.

This victory further cements Barcelona’s status as the most successful club in Spanish Super Cup history, with 15 titles to their name. Real Madrid follows closely behind with 13 titles.
