Despite suffering defeat, Real Madrid coach Bernd Schuster was upbeat about their first-leg Supa Copa clash at Valencia.
"We saw a good meeting between the two teams. Of course, not everything worked out and there are many aspects to improve.
"Valencia are looking good under Unai Emery. They're the same players as last season, but are now forming a good team. The van is back on the road.
"I did not like our defending, we should be smarter. Though, at 2-1 down, the way we came back was similar to last season. We will be better at the Bernabeu."
