The Spanish Super Cup is usually a great opportunity for Barça and Madrid to be able to generate income and also add titles, something that for the Catalans seems to be at risk for the next edition

The FC Barcelona closed his way in the Glass of the King in Saint Mamés, where sucumbió in front of the Athletic Club (4-2) this Wednesday, and this means now that the club is forced to finish in first or second position to ensure the note to Riad to contest the next Supercopa of Spain. This due to the fact that it no longer can aspire to classify like one of the two finalists of the tournament of His Majesty, places to which aspire now Real Sociedad, Mallorca, Athletic Club and Athletic of Madrid/Seville.

Like this, the Barça already has a reason more to have clear that can not fail in League, as his participation in the next edition of the tournament could peligrar. The Girona is still in the highest, although with a party more than the culés, and also that the Real Madrid, with 52 points. The ones of Ancelotti are second with 51, and the ones of Xavi are third with 44, followed very closely by Athletic and Athletic, with 41 points each one.

The economy of the Barça needs any entry

With this current stage is worthwhile to remember that the Barcelona club embolsó 7 million euros in the past Supercopa of Spain, 6 for participating and another 'kilo' for reaching the final. The economic distribution in the Supercopa establishes in function of the sportive results, the television audiences and the value that the clubs have in the current distribution of audiovisual rights.

That's why in the edition of this 2024 so much the Barça like the Real Madrid ensured of entrance 6 million euros, whereas the Athletic other three and the Osasuna another more. It is thus that taking in account the Barcelona economic situation, and also the sportive, lose a Supercopa of Spain and an important entry of money could be a problem more for the current project.

The RFEF also will be concerned by the does not witness of the Barça

Besides, the agreement of the Federation with Saudi Arabia stipulates that the patronal of the Spanish football loses 5 million value if any of the two teams that hoard the attention mediática (Barça and Real Madrid) are not present. In this way, a possible absence of the Catalan club in the next Supercopa of Spain would be a hard reverse for the economy of the Federation and of the Spanish football, in the sportive and economic.
