Always find it funny how Madrid fans revel in Barca's financial destruction. Back in 2001 Madrid were in the exact same position as Barca now, financially destroyed by a disastrous Galactico transfer policy. On the edge of going bust.
Barca had to sell their own assets to survive whilst Real Madrid fanatic supporting La Liga presidents tightened the economic screw.
Back in 2001, Madrid simply ' sold ' their training ground to the government for 500m, essentially wiping out all their debt. The strange this was that the training ground was only valued at 30m ! Even more strange the government decided to gift the training ground they had just bought for 500m back to Real Madrid for free !
500m in today's money is numerous billions. But apparently it's the biggest club in the world who does it's winning on the pitch
