A new information about the Barcelona players’ unique request made prior to the Super Cup final has surfaced.
Barcelona players wanted a bonus if they won the Super Cup
Barcelona players requested a special payment from the club if they were to win the Spanish Super Cup last month, according to a report from La Vanguardia (via Mundo Deportivo).
It is being reported that, just hours before the match versus Real Madrid at Al-Awwal Park, two of the team captains, who represented the squad, had a casual chat with club president Joan Laporta at the JW Marriot hotel.
In this meeting, the players requested a unique incentive from the club, one that could be given to all of the other professionals who work with them on a daily basis, should they go on to win the Super Cup.i.e. physical trainers, nutritionists, physiotherapists, a total of 30 employees.
During the chat, the Barça players suggested that their colleagues at Real Madrid would receive a bonus in the event of winning the final.
After hearing the request, Laporta contacted his entourage to confirm with Real Madrid president Florentino Perez whether he did indeed intend to reward his players with part of the prize for winning the Super Cup.
