Barcelona’s Potential TV Rights Loss for Not Securing Second Place
The renewal of Cubarsi is imminent Caught in the Act! Cameras capture Laporta, Deco, and Masip’s serious summit after the thrashing in Girona There are fewer and fewer aspects left to clarify in LaLiga. In a Blaugrana perspective, after Real Madrid became champions, Barcelona is left fighting for second place, something that would allow them to participate in the next season’s Spanish Super Cup. Defeats against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League quarterfinals, in the league classic against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu, or against Girona at Montilivi have left a bitter taste at Can Barça during the final and decisive stretch of the season. Therefore, the objective now is to reclaim the second spot in the standings. At the moment, it belongs to Girona, after winning the Catalan derby 4-2 and surpassing Barcelona by one point – 74 for Míchel’s team, compared to 73 for Xavi Hernández’s team. Not only is the ticket to participate in next year’s Spanish Super Cup at stake, but there is also an economic prize for the team that clinches the league’s “silver medal.”
As reported this afternoon by ‘RAC 1’, the difference between finishing second or third in LaLiga means missing out on around seven million euros in base revenue from television rights. There are four matchdays left until the conclusion of the league championship, and Barcelona, which continues to face a delicate financial situation, needs to avoid further setbacks and hope that Girona falters to regain second place and a good financial boost.
