Much has been said about the exhibition match, which was played in Dallas just a day and a half after Barca met Almeria. Now it is rumored that the club allegedly earns only five million. euros for their efforts.
Despite the fact that no one has complained publicly, the rumors in the Catalan media are that it has not created joy and optimism in the squad that the team had to go on a long, grueling journey right after the home game against Almeria.
It is the newspaper Sport that reports that Barca will receive five million euros for the show match in Dallas against Mexican Club América, and while it is not the norm to earn huge sums of money from exhibition matches, one could still question whether the relatively modest sum is well worth the effort, as the match was played just 36 hours after kick-off in Barcelona.
While the trip is not optimal from a purely sporting point of view, it can, on the contrary, give the players a good opportunity to end the year with an experience together that can bring them even closer together.
The match was played at 3.00 tonight Danish time and immediately afterwards the team set course for Barcelona, where they will arrive later today. Only then can the Christmas peace really subside.
