Post-match reactions

Lokomotiv Plovdiv owner Hristo Krusharski was overjoyed due to the victory, claiming that he had a premonition before the game, praising the collective efforts of the team and expressing the viewpoint that the "railwaymen" have great ambitions for the European tournaments and the next season in the league, hoping to make up for the disappointing finish outside the top 3 in the previous campaign.[2] Assistant manager Aleksandar Tunchev who was in charge of the team during the Supercup because of Bruno Akrapović serving a suspension expressed his gratitude to the players, some of whom were returning from a quarantine and also insisted that everyone should remain focused on the upcoming matches.[3] Lokomotiv captain Dimitar Iliev was satisfied that his team had been quite convincing and dominated the hosts from Razgrad unlike any other.[4] Sports director Georgi Ivanov regarded Lokomotiv's consistency as an indication of the team's class and expressed hope that the inertia the team had accumulated would carry over into the 2020/2021 season.[5] Ludogorets manager Pavel Vrba acknowledged issues with the team performance, especially when it came to the offensive players, as well as ill-discipline leading to the red card, though he also insisted that Jordan Ikoko had been provoked.[6] Ludogorets captain Svetoslav Dyakov considered his team's play to have been poor and emphasized the need for the right lessons to be drawn for the next matches.[7]
