Pique eyes Supercup win over Real Madrid

Barcelona center-back Gerard Pique wants a winning start to the season by beating rivals Real Madrid in the Spanish Supercup next month.

The match is traditionally a curtain raiser to the La Liga season between the league champions and the winners of the Copa del Rey.

This will pit Barcelona against Madrid in August and Pique is eager to deal the Los Blancos with a familiar blow - just like they did in the La Liga and Champions League last season.

"First we have the two complicated Supercups against Real Madrid and Porto which we want to win as they are two titles which would be nice to have in the museum," Pique is quoted as saying by Sport.

"From there we will take on the Liga, Champions League, Copa [del Rey] and then the European championship [with Spain].

"When we play on the pitch everyone helps out so that team can give all they can and Pep [Guardiola] guides us with this. We always play the same way," he concluded.

Barcelona begin their La Liga campaign away to Malaga while Real Madrid welcome Athletic Bilbao to the Santiago Bernabeu.
