La Liga prize money: Barcelona cash in BIG with 2024-25 title victory
FC Barcelona players lifting La Liga 2024-25 title.
New Delhi: Barcelona's 2-0 victory over Espanyol clinched their 28th La Liga title, completing their first domestic treble in 36 years, which also includes the Spanish Super Cup and Copa del Rey. Unlike many other major European leagues, La Liga does not award a set monetary prize to the champion, details regarding the 2024-25 season's winnings will be released separately.
Under manager Hansi Flick, Barcelona had a fantastic debut season that ended with a La Liga title win. Fermin Lopez and Lamine Yamal's goals sealed the title victory. This triumph was enhanced by an unparalleled accomplishment as Barcelona triumphed over Real Madrid in each of the season's four El Clasico games.
Instead of using a set reward structure, the league's 20 clubs will split the €343.5 million in television revenue from the 2024–25 season according to their final league rankings.
As the champions, Barcelona will take home the biggest portion of the €58.4 million prize fund (17%). Real Madrid, the runners-up, will earn €51.5 million (15%). Prize money decreases proportionally down the standings, with the last-placed team receiving only €0.9 million (0.25%).
Barcelona's revenue for the season comprises La Liga television rights income, plus €9 million from winning the Spanish Super Cup and an additional €1.2 million from their Copa del Rey success.
The club's revenue this season is projected to be between €60 million and €90 million from domestic competitions alone. Their Champions League semi-final appearance significantly boosted their income, adding at least €83 million.
Barcelona generated significant revenue this season, but a portion will be used to settle debts with Sixth Street, an American investment firm, due to a prior agreement involving the sale of a stake in their future television broadcasting rights.
According to La Liga's revenue sharing plan, only 35% of payments are made in the first year; instead, they are spread out over five years.
In order to prepare for the 2025–2026 season, Barcelona will use its increased earnings to bolster the club through contract negotiations, the acquisition of new players, and facilities improvements.

Soccer-Ronaldo says he does not plan to play at Club World Cup
June 7 - Al-Nassr and Portugal forward Cristiano Ronaldo said on Saturday he did not plan to play at the Club World Cup in the United States, despite being courted by clubs participating in the expanded 32-team tournament. Speculation over the 40-year-old's future intensified last month when FIFA President Gianni Infantino said discussions were underway about Ronaldo playing in the Club World Cup, despite Al-Nassr failing to qualify. Al-Nassr's sporting director Fernando Hierro said last month they were negotiating with Ronaldo over a contract extension but faced competition from a host of clubs eager to sign the five-times Ballon d'Or winner. Ronaldo himself added to the uncertainty after Al-Nassr's season-ending match at Al-Fateh, posting on social media: "This chapter is over. The story? Still being written." Asked about the possibility of signing for another club in the coming days in order to play at the Club World Cup later this month, Ronaldo told reporters: "It's irrelevant, at the moment it doesn't make sense to talk about things other than the national team. "There has been plenty of contact , I see things that make sense, others that don't. You can't go to all of them , you have to think short, medium and long term. "It's something that's practically decided on my part, which is not to go to the Club World Cup, but I've had plenty of invitations." On Wednesday, Ronaldo scored the winner as Portugal beat Germany 2-1 to go into the Nations League final, where they will face Spain. Many have labelled Sunday's final as a face-off between Ronaldo and 17-year-old Barcelona sensation Lamine Yamal but the Portuguese forward said he did not see it as such. "It's always been like that, whenever I've played football, whenever I've played a big game it's always been Cristiano against this one, against that one," he said. "It's been 20-something years and it's still the same, it doesn't keep me up at night anymore, it's a normal thing. They're completely different generations, a generation that's starting out, another that's finishing, which is my case. "In reality it's not like that, it's a team against a team. It will always be like that... What I want most is for Portugal to be at a good level, confident that things can go well, that we can play a great game and win against a very good team, possibly the best in the world."

China seeks to establish ‘green channel' for rare earth exports to EU
China accounts for more than 60 percent of rare earth mining production and 92 percent of global refined output, according to the International Energy Agency read more Miners are seen at the Bayan Obo mine containing rare earth minerals, in Inner Mongolia, China. File image/ Reuters China has suggested developing a 'green channel' to facilitate rare earth exports to the European Union, the commerce ministry announced Saturday, after Beijing restricted their sale abroad. Since April, Beijing has asked for licences to export these key commodities from China, which accounts for more than 60% of rare earth mining production and 92% of worldwide refined output, according to the International Energy Agency. The metals are used in a broad range of goods, including electric vehicle batteries, and industry leaders have criticised China's licensing process. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Export control on rare earths and other items is an international practice,' the commerce ministry said in a statement. 'China attaches great importance to Europe's concerns and is willing to establish a green channel for eligible applications, fast track the examination and approval, and instruct the working level to maintain timely communication on this,' a ministry statement said. The comments were attributed to China's Commerce Minister Wang Wentao, who met Tuesday with EU trade commissioner Maros Sefcovic. During the bilateral talks, Wang said he hoped the bloc would in turn 'take reciprocal action, adopt effective measures to facilitate, safeguard, and promote compliant trade of high-tech products with China,' according to the commerce ministry. The two officials also discussed imports by European countries of Chinese electric vehicles, which the EU has hit with levies over allegedly unfair subsidies from Beijing. 'The negotiation on the price commitment of electric vehicles between China and Europe has entered the final stage, but both sides still need to make efforts,' the commerce ministry said. The discussions will be followed by China hosting a summit with the EU next month, 50 years since Beijing and Brussels established diplomatic ties. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

Mbappe 'Not Bitter', Says 'Didn't Leave Too Soon; My Story With PSG Was Over'
Last Updated: Kylian Mbappe said there is no bitterness towards PSG's Champions League win after his move to Real Madrid. France captain Kylian Mbappe stated on Saturday that he harbours no resentment towards Paris Saint-Germain's Champions League victory following his departure to Real Madrid. 'I didn't leave too soon; my story with PSG was over. I am not bitter; I had reached the end of the road," Mbappe said during a press conference before Sunday's Nations League third-place play-off against Germany in Stuttgart. PSG triumphed 5-0 over Inter Milan to win the Champions League in Munich the previous Saturday, marking the club's first victory in the competition. 'I tried everything, and it was destiny that it happened without me," Mbappe remarked. 'PSG winning the Champions League without me doesn't affect me. I was happy, and I think they deserved it. 'They've had many years of struggle. I've been there too; I've played in every Champions League stage in Paris except for the victory. 'They're the best team in Europe. 'I don't remember seeing a team win 5-0 in a major final." Mbappe has expressed his ambition to win Europe's premier club competition, but the closest he came with his boyhood club was a loss in the 2020 final to Bayern Munich. The 24-year-old transferred to Madrid in the summer of 2024 hoping to capture the Champions League, but the Spanish giants were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Arsenal in April.
