Real Madrid coach Julen Lopetegui is confident in the players' hunger despite their European Super Cup defeat.

Real were thumped 4-2 by Atletico in Tallinn on Wednesday night.

Asked about his players' motivation, Lopetegui said: "They have won a lot, in the championship they did not stay where they wanted to be, we want to focus on the season without thinking about the last years and yes to get the best out of the team.

"We want to get up now and think about the League, which makes us excited. The team has won few LaLigas in recent seasons and we want to start well. They are not less hungry for having won the Champions League. They were hungry, hungry, excited to win this title.

"We have to improve in all facets, we do not like it when we make mistakes and we have to improve in everything, not only in individual errors."
