Supercopa de España (final): head-to-head FC Barcelona - Athletic Bilbao, opponents on 17/01/2021

With a brand valuation of €1.413bn, FC Barcelona (LaLiga Santander) are ranked 2^nd in the "Football Annual 2020" ranking established by the American company Brand Finance, a specialist in the economic evaluation of brands, versus 40^th for Athletic Club Bilbao (LaLigaSantander), as the two clubs prepare to face each other in the final of the 2020-21 Supercopa de España behind closed doors at the Estadio La Cartuja (Seville, ESP), on Sunday 17/01/2021 (kick-off at 21:00 CET).

In terms of turnover (excluding gains from player trading), FC Barcelona posted revenues of €761m in 2019-20 (-13% compared to 2018-19), nearly eight times more than Athletic Club, which posted €96.7m (-19.5%). Barça's management committee presented a provisional budget of €828m for the 2020-21 season in October 2020, which was notably based on a partial return of spectators to the Camp Nou (99,354 capacity) from February 2021, something that now seems inconceivable. The Basque club, however, is aiming for stable revenues of €97m over the current financial year.
