Real Madrid or Barcelona? What's the richest club in the world

A small consolation, one might say. After losing the classic to Real Madrid for La Liga last Saturday, seeing how the eternal rival was only one unit away from Atlético Madrid, a leader in the local tournament in Spain for some time, while those of Ronald Koeman are now two points away, Forbes made a publication in which those of the culé team could overcome Merengue.

It happens that according to said media, Barca's now the most valuable club in the world for the first time in its history, pushing Madrid to second place. It's a value of 4.76 billion dollars that the institution has, while Zidane's team has an estimated number of 4.75. Very even, but there is a difference that places the Catalans in front.

Nearby's Manchester United, which in recent years has also known how to dominate the table. The promotion had a lot to do with the possible departure of Lionel Messi from the club in the past transfer market, being the highest paid player in the world, which ended with the '10' staying for at least one more year and the president resigning.

On a sporting level, which would seem to be what really matters, the story is different: Ronald Koeman could not make his team advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, he's complicated in the national championship and will at least seek to dominate the Copa del Rey, whose final will be played against Athletic Bilbao on Saturday.

Real Madrid stayed with the classic against Barcelona

Under a torrential deluge, Real Madrid won 2-1 over Barcelona last Saturday, the product of goals from Karim Benzemá and Sergiño Dest against their goal. For those of Ronald Koeman, Óscar Mingueza partially discounted. This result allowed those coached by Zinedine Zidane to be just one point behind Atlético Madrid in the standings. Barcelona, meanwhile, was two behind the Colchonero. La Liga is on fire!
