Ah, sure, we’ve gotten to that time in the European soccer season the place most everybody asks themselves, “Why are these teams in Saudi Arabia?” earlier than rapidly correcting themselves.
That’s why Spain and Italy have moved their “Super Cup” video games to that nation and to the center of the season, and Turkey tried, however failed, as a consequence of unpleasantness, video games that used to happen proper earlier than the season that pitted the earlier season’s league winners vs. the earlier season’s cup winner. Both FAs have expanded to the runners-up in every competitors from the earlier season to offer Saudi extra video games, make them pay extra for it, and to attempt to justify flying to the Middle East in the center of a busy season.
Barcelona, who’ve spent the previous two or three seasons turning the entire membership right into a clown automotive, made positive to make their newest sojourn to Saudi Arabia as uncomfortable as attainable for everybody and to indicate precisely the place their priorities are.

Would really help us out.”
Barca are, on behalf of their hosts, making an attempt to duck any controversy about the legal guidelines in Saudi Arabia, as a result of the complete level of this Super Cup is a part of the “sports-washing” marketing campaign of that nation.
