FC Barcelona got a good win against Osasuna in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup. The Catalans came out as the winners with a 2-0 scoreline, and this win paves their way to the final of the tournament, in which they will face Real Madrid this Sunday.
Barcelona are the defending champions of this tournament, and the victory over Osasuna brings them one step closer to retaining the title for another year. However, this victory was not important only in sporting terms for the Blaugranes.
As SPORT has noted, this victory will provide a significant cash injection to the depleted Barcelona coffers, which can help the club a lot in this difficult time.
The Catalans have already earned €6 million with their participation in the Spanish Super Cup. This bonus is determined by RFEF by taking into consideration the results in national and international sporting events for each participant. Real Madrid and Barcelona both got €6 million for this edition of the tournament.
In addition to this €6 million, all the participating clubs also receive €300,000 for the costs of traveling and staying in Saudi Arabia from the RFEF.
By getting into the final with their win over Osasuna, Barcelona have earned another €1 million from their participation in the Spanish Super Cup.
Thus, the total amount that Barcelona have secured up to now reaches €7.3 million. If the Catalans can now win the final against Real Madrid and emerge as the winners of the Supercopa de Espana once again, they will earn another half million.
Thus, a winning return from Saudi Arabia can bring €7.8 million in total to the club’s coffers. Such a sum can significantly mitigate the club’s problems with FFP, and pave the way for more player arrivals in the next summer transfer window.
