For several months, FIFA has been promoting the Club World Cup to make it a prestigious competition. To convince clubs to give their all despite an already busy season, the world football body decided to put in the effort with XXL cash prizes, both for the participating clubs and for the eventual winner, who will walk away with €115 million in addition to what they have accumulated up to the final (almost €100 million as well). Mind-boggling sums that are dizzying, especially when you consider the state of European clubs' finances.
Since the start of the competition, Real Madrid has been the club with the most money, having already pocketed €55.2 million . And according to information from AS , this Club World Cup has now become an obsession for Madrid's management, who believe that a final victory is now essential and strategic for the future of the club. Internally, they do not hesitate to constantly put pressure on the players. The club has even planned an individual bonus of €1 million in the event of a final victory. The biggest bonus promised by Real Madrid in its history.
Florentino Perez wants to go all the way at all costs
This is bound to provide a huge boost. According to the Madrid daily, before the start of the competition, Florentino Pérez made it clear: this Club World Cup is as important as the Champions League. And with significant sums at stake, the president of the Casa Blanca sees a great opportunity to put pressure on UEFA to review its Champions League formula. As proof of his obsession with this Club World Cup, Florentino Pérez went so far as to put pressure on Xabi Alonso.
According to AS , Xabi Alonso is the one who benefits the least from this competition since he doesn't have the opportunity to really test or plan his preseason. But the former Bayer Leverkusen coach understands his president and knows that to have the best players in the world in his squad, the club must bring in money. Real Madrid is putting all the chances on its side to win this competition and a slip-up against Dortmund would be a real blow. Answer this Saturday at 10 p.m.
