This week's Spanish Super Cup in Saudi Arabia has been heavily criticized by Athletic Bilbao midfielder Raul Garcia, who will play in the one of the competition’s semi-finals on Thursday.
The former Spain international said: ‘It doesn’t make a lot of sense. It’s very simple: we are playing a tournament that is (normally) played in our own country and it doesn’t make sense to play it anywhere else.
‘It makes no sense to play a game there (in Saudi Arabia) that could be played here.
