Real Madrid are in the Supercup final.

Real Madrid yesterday played with Atletico Madrid in what was one of the most exciting games of the entire season. Carlo Ancelotti's team drew 3-3 against Cholo Simeone's team in 90 minutes, and won 5-3 in extra time before penalties could be played. Now, Real Madrid has qualified for the final of the Spanish Super Cup.

Today, Osasuna and Barcelona will fight for the last ticket to the final, where Real Madrid is already waiting. Many fans were surprised to see that the Spanish Super Cup was being played in Saudi Arabia, however, this is not new, as there have already been 5 editions like this. The reason is because in Asia they pay many millions to host the competition.

According to GOAL Spain, "Saudi Arabia contributes 40 million euros each year to the coffers of the RFEF", this money is distributed unequally between the participating teams and the federation. Real Madrid and FC Barcelona will receive around 6 million each. In fact, now a gesture of humility from both clubs with Osasuna has gone viral.

What gesture of humility?

Real Madrid and Barcelona benefit the most from playing in the tournament, since winning 6 million is very useful for the club. However, not everyone has the same luck, since Osasuna will only receive 1 million. For this reason, Real Madrid and Barcelona have decided to donate 200 thousand euros to Osasuna, each.
