"We played a semifinal three days ago and then a final today, it was something new for everyone. We kept our focus high."

Martinez's winner came in stoppage time when Benjamin Pavard made a great solo run and crossed from the right to find the Argentine striker in the six-yard box for a simple finish.

"I am very proud and happy. We were eliminated from the Italian Cup, so we wanted to win the Super Cup" Martinez, who has 21 goals in 27 games in all competitions this season, told Mediaset.

"It was tough, we had a day's less rest, we were not sharp, but I am proud of this team. The goal was a great emotion, a unique moment."
