"Whenever things are going badly, we always try to take a step forward", said the captain, who scored 24 points in the final.Sergio Llull was awarded MVP in the 2021 Super Cup in Tenerife. The Madrid captain scored 24 points, 2 assists and 27 PIR in the final and played a key role in Real Madrid winning their fourth consecutive Super Cup. He's won the award for the third time (2018 and 2014), equalling Navarro as the player with the most MVPs in the history of the competition.
After the match, Llull said: "That's the character of this team. Whenever things are going badly, we always try to take a step forward. We demonstrated that again today. It's been a difficult year on a personal level and it's emotional to put in a good performance to help the team".
"Alocén is working harder than anyone else and deserves games like that. When you're a young player at a team like Real Madrid it's difficult to get those opportunities and find the confidence, but if he keeps going like this he'll go a long way".
