Financial details regarding the prize distribution for the Spanish Super Cup have surfaced following Barcelona’s dramatic triumph over Real Madrid in Saudi Arabia on Sunday evening. The Catalan giants secured the prestigious trophy at the King Abdullah Sports City stadium with a hard-fought 3-2 victory in a match that further intensified the historic rivalry between the two powerhouses. Under the guidance of manager Hansi Flick, the Blaugrana showcased a potent offensive display to overcome their Madrid rivals and claim the first domestic silverware of the season.
The match featured an outstanding individual performance from Brazilian winger Raphinha, who netted a vital brace to anchor the Barcelona attack. Robert Lewandowski added the third goal to ensure the victory for the league leaders, effectively neutralizing the offensive threats posed by Carlo Ancelotti’s squad. Despite the loss, Real Madrid pushed the contest to its limits, but ultimately fell short of defending their title in front of a capacity crowd in Jeddah.
The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has allocated specific performance-based rewards for the two finalists as reported by the Spanish news outlet AS. Barcelona will receive a winner’s cheque of €2 million for their successful campaign and championship victory. Real Madrid will collect a consolation sum of €1.4 million for their participation in the final and their status as the tournament runners-up. These figures complement the base participation fees that both clubs received prior to the commencement of the four-team tournament.
Both squads have already commenced their return journey to Spain as they shift their focus back to the ongoing domestic title race. The victory provides a significant psychological boost for Barcelona as they resume their La Liga campaign. Hansi Flick’s men currently maintain a commanding position at the summit of the Spanish top flight, holding a four-point advantage over Real Madrid.
The upcoming league fixtures will determine whether Real Madrid can bridge the gap or if Barcelona will utilize this momentum to pull further away in the standings. Fans expect a high level of intensity in the coming weeks as the focus returns to the race for the league title. The Super Cup results have undoubtedly set a competitive tone for the remainder of the European football season.
