Road Ahead for RMA
Barcelona’s dominance in the domestic circuit in the last couple of years has overshadowed Real Madrid’s excellence on the pitch. Los Blancos have not been able to replicate their form in the La Liga and they seem to have lost the plot.
Their primary aim is to establish their authority on the domestic front as they are lacking behind.
The Spanish giants extended their partnership with Adidas as they put pen to paper to a lucrative deal which will see the club partnering with Adidas until 2028. The agreement could bring in as much as 130 million Euros per season with merchandising revenue which could break the record of all kit deals.
