DBasia.news – Three Spanish representative clubs have failed to qualify for the next round in the 2022-2023 Champions League. This fact turned out to be an advantage for Real Madrid.
Madrid are the only representative of Spain who is certain to advance to the last 16. Their steps failed to be followed by Barcelona, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona and Sevilla are confirmed to have been thrown into the Europa League after locking in third place in their respective groups. While Atletico are still risking their fate in the last match to avoid the caretaker position.
The failure of the three representatives of Spain to advance far in the Champions League certainly tarnished the image of LaLiga. The Matador State’s highest caste football competition is considered one of the best in the Premier League.
This failure also caused financial losses for the three clubs. Even though the financial conditions of Barcelona, Sevilla and Atletico have not been stable after the pandemic.
Interestingly, the third tragic fate became a blessing in disguise for Madrid. Los Blancos seem to have experinced a windfall.
According to Marca’s report, Madrid will benefit more from broadcasting rights. The Spanish giants now don’t need to share the quota with country clubs when competing in the knockout phase.
It is estimated that Madrid will at least receive an additional 8.6 million euros from what they can get. This amount will continue to grow if they are able to advance to the top party.
