Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde opened up about the controversial new Spanish Super Cup format ahead of the match against Atletico Madrid in Saudi Arabia, saying it's the latest example of the sport finding new ways to make money.
Per ESPN FC's Sam Marsden, Valverde talked about the changing format of the competition and how he prefers how it used to be:
"I know the context of the country [we're playing in] has led to a lot of reverberations. We have to keep in mind that the football we're involved in now is an industry that is always looking for new ways of income.
