The final of the Spanish Super Cup, broadcast by the L’Equipe channel on Sunday evening, was a hit in many respects. The clash between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, relocated to Saudi Arabia, offered quite a spectacle. Kylian Mbappé opened the scoring from the start (5th) before putting in a high-quality performance. However, it was the Blaugranas who largely won (5-2) against the Merengues who were bad collectively and weighed down by errors from Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga.
Monday noon, the publication of the Sunday audiences gave pride of place to the L’Equipe channel, a TNT channel and therefore available free of charge in France. The meeting, launched at 8 p.m., brought together 1.3 million viewers on average and even reached a peak of 1.7 million, as indicated The Parisian. A hell of a jackpot for L’Equipe, which had decided to broadcast the respective semi-finals of Barça and Real (against Bilbao on Wednesday and Mallorca on Thursday) on L’Equipe live football, accessible only to subscribers.

With 1.3 million viewers on a Sunday evening, the L’Equipe channel hits hard. If the films broadcast by TF1 and France 2, respectively The day after And Rebelsbrought together more than 3 million viewers each, three legendary films were watched less than the Clasico: Basic Instinct with Sharon Stone on Arte (1.22 million viewers), The truth if I lie! on W9 (424,000 viewers) and The three brothers on TFX (396,000 viewers).
In any case, football fans were delighted to be able to watch the big poster of Spanish football for free, with the star captain of the France team in action. PSG-Saint-Etienne which concluded the 17th day of Ligue 1, from 8:45 p.m., certainly attracted much fewer people than the L’Equipe channel. DAZN would only have 500,000 subscribers (out of the 1.5 million subscribers hoped for), according to The Team a month ago (before a new price set at 19.90 euros per month).
