Pique's warning to FC Barcelona and Real Madrid that paralyzes Spain

Gerard Pique foresees a difficult future for the two giants of Spanish football, Barca and Real Madrid, in which their partners would definitively lose control of the entities to transform into Sports Joint Stock Companies (SAD) to remain competitive if a Super League is not created. . Perhaps, if football evolves in the same way that it is doing so far, both Barça and Madrid will no longer have the capacity to compete in Europe, and the solution is for these clubs to stop being owned by their members and become be private companies, that is, public limited companies.

This is the opinion that Gerard Piqué has given and it is perfectly understandable. Currently, the two most successful teams in Spain have more than 1 billion in debt, whether as a result of the pandemic, for works in the stadiums, to sign players, etc. The truth is that Real Madrid is much better off financially than Barcelona and has a greater capacity to assume that debt. In the event that the Florentino Super League is not created, the two clubs will continue on the path of increasing the debt until they reach a point where they cannot pay the interest. In this case, the Catalan club would receive this point sooner due to its poor economic situation.

At the same time, the problem of so-called club-states such as Manchester City or PSG arises. LaLiga has very strong Fair Play regulations, something that does not happen either in the French league or in the Premier, which means that when facing each other in European competitions, they are measured against teams that have built their teams with fewer restrictions. economic, which generates inequality.

The solution proposed by Pique

Piqué's solutions are three: a Super League that greatly increases income, the sale of the club to an investor who will introduce money in droves, or they will stop competing at the Champions level.
