A tough economic situation for Spanish giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, as stated in a report by magazine Palco 23: the two clubs are expected to sum a €60M loss this season, sustained only by the revenues from the football section, despite having a decrease in aggregated revenues by 9% for a total of €25M.

Barcelona will spend €32.9M for the first team, a 59% increase over last season, while Real will invest €30.3M but counts on reducing losses by 3% thanks to an higher ticketing revenue than his rival.
