Futbol Club Barcelona already knows that its rival in the Spanish Super Cup in January will be Real Betis Balompié, champion of the last Copa del Rey, while Real Madrid will play Valencia.
The Spanish Super Cup, which is played in Saudi Arabia and will generate 8 million euros each for Barcelona and Real Madrid, will pit the League champion against the Copa del Rey runner-up, and the champion of this one against the second of the League.
Regarding the Spanish Super Cup, the president of the Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF), Luis Rubiales, maintained at a press conference that the entity did not pay “a single euro” to Gerard Piqué’s company “Kosmos”, but that it charged from Saudi Arabia and that the information that circulated to the contrary “we already know who it favors.”
Meanwhile, the Barcelona coach, Xavi Hernández, defended the head of the RFEF. “I believe in Rubiales and it seems to me that the agreement signed is for the good of Spanish football,” he said.
