Guardiola plays down Bayern Munich’s loss to Dortmund in Super Cup final

Despite losing 4-2 in the DFL Super Cup final to rivals Borussia Dortmund, new Bayern Munich coach Pep Guardiola, is not bothered.

The Bavarians, before the game, boasted of an impressive pre-season so far, but were outplayed at Signal Iduna Park by Jurgen Klopp’s men.

Guardiola is however of the opinion, that there is nothing to be worried about.

“They won. I am not here to analyse which team played better today. I am happy with our performance, we played well,” the 42-year-old told reporters after the match.

“Congratulations to Dortmund, they won. We did not lose because of that [Van Buyten’s and Starke’s mistakes]. This is football. We have one week until the cup and another week to the Bundesliga.

“They won 4-2, but I did not have the feeling they were much better than us. But this is football. We will watch the match and work.”
