Spanish Super Cup first "Real" test for Barça's Vi

Barcelona (Spain), Aug 22 (EFE).- Barça's Tito Vilanova has only had one match that counts at the helm -- a 5-1 La Liga victory against a lackluster Real Sociedad -- to prepare for his first Clasico. And as much as both teams would like to play down the importance of the Spanish Super Cup, there is no denying that Thursday's first-leg match is, after all, Barcelona vs. Real Madrid, the twin titans of football, and the first duel between Vilanova and Jose Mourinho. "What's at risk? Nothing" Vilanova responded curtly when asked about the personal importance of this first title of the season. Later he added, "If I thought that if we do not win my world would come crumbling down, I wouldn't be able to go on and do my work. I don't go into every game thinking that a lot is at risk, because I want to enjoy this profession calmly. Sorry, but in my life there are more important things."
