#2 Real Madrid’s financial power
Trending
Real Madrid have much greater financial power than Barcelona. The Galacticos can sign whoever they please with no financial burden on them as their signings of Gareth Bale, James Rodriguez, Cristiano Ronaldo and even as far back as Zidane show how they have always been able to spend big. Barcelona have been able to spend on certain players such as Luis Suarez and Neymar, but they’re unable to spend as much as Real have.
Being able to spend more on talent will obviously make one team bigger than the other. Both Real Madrid and Barcelona are great clubs to play for, but if one is more financially strong, the team with more money will probably be more successful. Madrid are rumoured to be interested in Kylian Mbappe, which would again prove how financially capable they are. His price tag would be over €100 million, ruling Barcelona out of the race for the French talent.
There have also been rumours Barcelona are struggling to pay the enormous contracts that their front three get, further emphasising how bad their financial situation is in comparison to Real Madrid and showing how Madrid are now a bigger and better club than Barcelona.
