Real Madrid v Atletico in Spanish Super Cup - but which players earn the biggest salaries? The top weekly wages in pictures


  • English
  • Arabic

Real Madrid resume rivalries with Atletico Madrid in the Spanish Super Cup final in Saudi Arabia on Sunday evening.

After knocking out Valencia and Atletico beating Barcelona in the semi-finals, it is left to the two clubs from the Spanish capital to determine who will be crowned the first victors of the revamped Super Cup, which is taking place at King Abdullah Sports City in Jeddah.

As the two teams prepared to meet, some of the Atletico players may have been casting envious glances in the direction of their rivals.

According to capology, the sports salary database, the Real players are in a different league when it comes to salaries.

Eden Hazard is the top earner at Real Madrid, and listing the top five from each club shows a marked difference.

Above is a photo gallery of the highest earning Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid players and their weekly take home pay.

Teaching your child to save

Pre-school (three - five years)

You can’t yet talk about investing or borrowing, but introduce a “classic” money bank and start putting gifts and allowances away. When the child wants a specific toy, have them save for it and help them track their progress.

Early childhood (six - eight years)

Replace the money bank with three jars labelled ‘saving’, ‘spending’ and ‘sharing’. Have the child divide their allowance into the three jars each week and explain their choices in splitting their pocket money. A guide could be 25 per cent saving, 50 per cent spending, 25 per cent for charity and gift-giving.

Middle childhood (nine - 11 years)

Open a bank savings account and help your child establish a budget and set a savings goal. Introduce the notion of ‘paying yourself first’ by putting away savings as soon as your allowance is paid.

Young teens (12 - 14 years)

Change your child’s allowance from weekly to monthly and help them pinpoint long-range goals such as a trip, so they can start longer-term saving and find new ways to increase their saving.

Teenage (15 - 18 years)

Discuss mutual expectations about university costs and identify what they can help fund and set goals. Don’t pay for everything, so they can experience the pride of contributing.

Young adulthood (19 - 22 years)

Discuss post-graduation plans and future life goals, quantify expenses such as first apartment, work wardrobe, holidays and help them continue to save towards these goals.

Three ways to get a gratitude glow

By committing to at least one of these daily, you can bring more gratitude into your life, says Ong.

  • During your morning skincare routine, name five things you are thankful for about yourself.
  • As you finish your skincare routine, look yourself in the eye and speak an affirmation, such as: “I am grateful for every part of me, including my ability to take care of my skin.”
  • In the evening, take some deep breaths, notice how your skin feels, and listen for what your skin is grateful for.
