Spanish Super Cup Real Madrid! Congratulations Los Galacticos. They managed to win the championship by beating Athletic Bilbao 2-0 as a result of good play. Real Madrid is the first team that comes to mind in Spain when the cup is mentioned. Of course, according to Athletic Bilbao, they were also the favorites of the match. Still, anything can happen in these finals. Real Madrid wants to continue in the league without loss by raising morale because they won the cup.
Real Madrid have one title and next they will fight for La Liga title which they have lot of advantage on the table now. In Champions League, we will have to wait because Real Madrid are not biggest club in Champions League now. However, they have enough good power to win it so let's wait for their performance there.
Barcelona let go of their star players or key players due to the deteriorating financial situation, so Barcelona had no other option but a sudden decision to make at that time. You can't compare it to Madrid, which is still relatively safe in terms of finances, so it will be easier for them to prepare everything to keep the team solid.
The previous presidency brought many stars or young potential players to Camp Nou and gave them top salary. They are burden for the club financially in last few seasons, especially now when the finance in Barcelona is very bad. Worse, their contribution for the club is very small and it is unacceptable if we consider their too high salary rate. Coutinho, Dembele, Griezman, Umtiti, etc.
It is better for Barcelona to sell them or at least loan and reduce salary burden. The bad thing is because of their high salary, finding other clubs for them is very difficult.
