Real Madrid players will be handsomely rewarded for their Copa del Rey triumph in the 2011 calendar year. Los Blancos lifted the cup at the expense of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 on April 20 at the Mestalla stadium.
The title had evaded the decorated Spanish giants for over 17 years, with their last triumph coming back in 1993.
With the cup honour, Los Blancos put an end to their three-year trophy-less streak that has seen Barcelona stroll to the summit of world football. The Catalan club have added an overwhelming 16 continental and domestic titles to their trophy cabinet in this
period.
The bonus for the players comes on the back of December 20 meeting when Real Madrid players agreed on the amount. President Florentino Perez held negotiations with the first team captains and concluded the said figures.
The economic levity for the roster could not have come at a better time, as the Christmas holidays reach their fervour. With the extended commitments at their peak at this junction of the year, the sum of 100,000 Euros will mean the entourage of players
are well looked after.
With other La Liga clubs suffering from the financial clout in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011, Real Madrid do not seem to be affected by the tough economic conditions around them.
However, in hindsight, the Madrid hierarchy’s willingness to reward the players is justified; the first team members have not been given a bonus over the last couple of seasons.
Following this announcement, the four captains of Los Blancos http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marcelo-c23554 will sit with the financial heads and negotiate bonuses for the coming season.
Real have been sensational in the first half of 2011/12 season. The Capital club start the New Year as Winter Champions, holding a three point lead over champions Barcelona.
The Spanish titans have been exceptional in UEFA Champions League as well. Real Madrid squad registered perfect group stage results, winning six out of their six group games. They have been pitted with Russian club, CSKA Moscow, for the knock-out round of
the competition.
Los Blancos’ Copa del Rey defence has been noteworthy as well. The Spanish giants comfortably coasted past Ponferradina and will tackle the challenge of cash-rich Malaga CF in the Round of 16.
