Cristiano Ronaldo's match against Jürgen Klopp sold the TV rights more expensive than Barcelona vs Real Madrid

It was known that thanks to the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo and later Messi, the most important game in Spain was going to suffer down casualities in terms of views of the party. But not as much as it finally ends up happening, the truth is that the number dropped considerably and Laliga suffers.

In total there were 86,422 spectators at the Camp Nou. It is the lowest attendance for a classic played in Barcelona since December 16, 1993 that had 65,000 spectators at the Supercope. That same thing was transferred to television viewers, who also turned their backs, if we take the numerical terms in which the number of viewers who were attentive behind the screen were set, for each of these games.

Given this trend, which was anticipated by the way, the values for television rights were adjusted for both parties, and as the logic indicated, the Premier League traded more. Today, and before the arrival of Lionel Messi, even the French Ligue 1 doubles in values to those established for La Liga. The Spanish competition sold its rights to the Media Pro network for 1.9 million dollars a year, while the Premier League settled with Sky and League BT Sports, for just over 8 million dollars a year.
