Barça are big underdogs against Miami and will be an integral part of the project that will play it in 2025 | Relief
Without creating unnecessary noise The official La Liga match, in which (especially) Barcelona and Atlético Madrid was diluted from Madrid wanted to play in Miami on December 21st. This proved impossible due to the timing, social situation and political situation within the RFEF. They will try again for the fourth time and, this time, it seems that there will be no obstacles to its completion. LaLiga and Relevent are overcoming obstacles one after another, and since the RFEF president has already been officially elected, they should not have any problems in 2025. And Barça will almost certainly be in this project.
The fact is that the refusal of the match at Hard Rock Stadium It was difficult for everyone… but especially for Barcelona. Joan Laporta. The excellent sporting situation seems to have put an end to all the economic problems of the company. And not only throw dirt also the several million euros that Barcelona prefers to receive as extraordinary income thanks to its good results in the Champions League. Reaching (for example) the semi-finals would be a huge relief, and anything that means reaching the quarter-finals would be good enough. But Here’s some good news about pasta.…
The Barça team ended the last transfer market with real problems, for the third summer in a row, with the registration of their players, as they had to go through take advantage of the absence of more or less long-term injuries, such as Christensen (this is how Dani Olmo came) or Araujo (which was the reason for the appearance of Inigo Martinez in the official lineup). They were waiting for a new sponsorship agreement with Nike, which would greatly clarify the financial picture… but they couldn’t achieve it.
This way the furniture was saved. in terms of registrations thanks to these two injuries. But I had trap: On January 1, if Barcelona continues to exceed the squad limit, Dani Olmo will no longer be registered in La Liga. This problem was also decided one: Ter Stegen injury covers Dani Olmo’s salary is more than enough… and more. They can re-register it. Therefore, emergency situations are limited for now.
Where are Barcelona’s finances facing problems? Well, in addition to the now classic leverage that weighs down everything else, the club will have to face another negative number if it fails to open the Camp Nou in the 2024-25 season. And everything suggests that they will not achieve this… We talking about -10 million euros that were planned to enter to once again be able to manage the commercial areas and VIP areas of their stadium and leave Montjuïc.
This problem seemed to be resolved, at least in part, by the official League match, which was scheduled to take place in Miami on December 21 against Atlético Madrid. The benefit for Barcelona was expected to be around 5 million euros. (probably more), the figure is completely incomparable to what it would mean if it were played in Barcelona. In fact, much of the hype that arose during the build-up to this match had only one explanation: “Barca needs him”.
Of course, that match in the USA should have been very beneficial for everyone, its opponent and the rest of the First Division clubs would have strengthened the agreement with the strategic partner heavy weight as it is relevantalso responsible for much of America’s lucrative pre-season tours.
This can’t be true. And everyone tried until the last minute, even though it didn’t make much sense because they were dependent on RFEF permission… which no one could give because they didn’t have a president. Given the degree of consensus that existed between the institutions (ironically), if they tried to organize this party with the already officially elected President of the Federation, they would have it no problem. All the other organizations that had to give their consent were surprisingly compliant and did not seem to have any major problems.
That is why I was surprised by the persistence and determination that it was the Barcelona – Atlético Madrid match in December that they prepared, and, of course, one of the most striking and easily sold matches of the entire tournament to the international audience. The RFEF currently has a Management Commission. The last time this body made management decisions outside the scope of day-to-day operations, it was on the verge of disqualification. Granting permission to host an official match in the United States did not seem like the most “ordinary” thing to do. and it was not easy for them to take risks and move forward, knowing what might befall them.
Moreover, the tragic DANA that devastated Valencia radically changed the focus and, in addition to time running out, the problems became much more serious and The response was focused on helping and coordinating the new reality of La Liga.postponing the party project on the other side of the pond until 2025.
Thus, the resumption of the match in the USA, in which FC Barcelona will almost 100% be one of the contenders, remains postponed. Actually, It wouldn’t be at all strange if next season there was a draw between Barcelona and Atlético Madrid. falls on a reasonable date, regardless of whether the exported batch is the same. With Real Madrid taken out of the equation as a matter that is directly discussed by La Liga, it is obvious that Relevent will want to ensure the best match possible. Especially after six years of unsuccessful attempts…
