El Clasico is arguably the biggest game in club football, and it definitely brings motivation for players from both Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. This Clasico adds more motivation than a normal league game because it’s for a trophy. Saudi Arabia is expecting to witness a great Clasico on the pitch this Sunday.
Real Madrid President Florentino Perez does not want to relive the previous final in Saudi Arabia. Last year`s final showcased a dominant performance by the Blaugrana as they defeated Los Blancos 3-1. Gavi, Lewandowski, and Pedri were the Barca goalscorers in that game, and Karim Benzema grabbed the only goal for Madrid late in the game.
Xavi has shown respect to Real Madrid this year, mentioning that the team is stronger than last year. Xavi looks to win the Super Cup over Madrid for a consecutive year. Perez wants a different performance for this year`s final and gives the players another reason to win the final.
Florentino Perez is offering bonuses for each squad member and coaching staff if Madrid wins the final.
According to Defensa Central & Sport reports, President Perez has promised the Real Madrid players 150k euros bonuses to every squad member and coaching staff if they beat Barca and win the Spanish Super Cup on Sunday. The monetary prize is nearly half the amount Real Madrid would receive from the Royal Spanish Football Federation [RFEF] for participating in the Spanish Super Cup hosted in Saudi Arabia.
The players have many motivators to win this final against Barcelona, and Perez has lit a bigger fire on the players to perform well on Sunday. It will be interesting to see how the game goes for Los Blancos as they could win their first trophy of the season.
