FC Barcelona is ahead of Real Madrid in the La Liga standings… but also in terms of the teams which received the most money linked to TV rights during last season in Spain. Indeed, for the first time in several years, the Catalans pocketed a bigger jackpot than the Merengues, with 162.49 million euros pocketed compared to 159 million euros for the Madrilenians.

How to explain this change? Well, La Liga rewards teams in particular that play the game with the media and send players or coaches to speak before, during and after matches, in order to have a TV broadcast that is richer and more interesting in content. Barça agrees to do so, while Real Madrid refuses. It should also be noted that Real Madrid received 2 million euros less than in 2022/2023.
