Spanish Super Cup press conference

Cesc Fabregas, Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho speaking after Barcelona's 5-4 aggregate win over Real Madrid.

Cesc Fabregas saying: "I am really happy but I have to carry on learning more and trying to win more titles."

"I have known Leo (Messi) since I was 13 years old and we already got on well then and that is all thanks to him, everybody gets on well with him. He is the best in the world, I have never played with somebody like him and I think I never will, so I am going to try to have fun and learn from him."

Pep Guardiola saying: "To be honest, before the final I didn't think we would be able to win it, but after winning it I am even happier. And I might repeat myself and I might be boring but I can only congratulate these players for their way of thinking, for thier personality and for how they played. It isn't easy when there is so much intensity and so much pressure and the way they did it against Real Madrid."

"If we keep on going in all competitions we will find the best possible teams, and this is the best. It is the best rival you can find. I mean, if we have such a match, at this level, in the pre-season, that says a lot about our players. We've seen some things here from both sides of an enormous level. I imagine that though you can fall out before hand, but I see both sides in the King's Cup and the Champions League, and of course I hope Real Madrid does good in all competitions."

Jose Mourinho saying: "My feeling is that we played two very good games. Very good. Two very complete matches, the whole 90 minutes, not only ten, fifteen minutes. We played very well the four halfs of these matches and for me the team is a better team than it was last year."

"I was taught to play football like a man not to fall every time there is a (he blows). I can't say we are very happy when we lost the Super Cup, that would be hypocritical, because I am not. We are not happy despite it is a small title, as I said before, the biggest of the summer, the smallest of the season, but I can't say we are happy because we are not."
