Following Barcelona's emphatic 5-2 victory over Real Madrid at the King Abdullah Stadium in Jeddah, Lamine Yamal and Raphinha turned heads with their designer sunglasses during the Supercopa de España celebrations.

Lamine Yamal sported sunglasses from the prestigious Gucci brand, valued at just over $450. Meanwhile, Raphinha chose the iconic Juliet Oakley frames, reminiscent of those made famous by NBA legend Michael Jordan. These glasses, which he wore both before the match and during the celebrations, can exceed $1,000 and are considered rare finds.

Why Sunglasses During the Celebration?

The sight of the Barça stars wearing sunglasses surprised many, though this trend is not new, particularly in the NBA, where players often celebrate titles in similar fashion. Collaborations between elite athletes and luxury brands have become increasingly common.

It's worth noting that this isn’t Lamine Yamal’s first time celebrating with exclusive eyewear. During the Euro Cup, he wore Dior Black Square CD Diamond S5I sunglasses, which are priced at around $500.

The use of sunglasses in sports celebrations is a growing trend. Memorable examples include Carlo Ancelotti and Real Madrid players after winning LaLiga, or Barcelona’s women’s team celebrating their league title in May, shielding themselves from champagne with this stylish accessory.

How Much Money Did Barcelona and Real Madrid Earn?

Barcelona's triumph in the Supercopa comes with more than just the title. Joan Laporta’s club is set to pocket around $9 million, consisting of $6 million as a fixed participation fee, $1 million for reaching the final, and a $2 million bonus for winning it.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, will earn over €7 million from this edition, with a similar fixed participation fee and an additional amount for making it to the title match.

The funds for both clubs come from the €40 million that Saudi Arabia pays the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) annually to host the tournament, which this year took place in Jeddah, as in the first of the five editions held in the country since 2020.

While the exact distribution of revenue isn’t public, approximately half of the total amount is allocated to the four participating teams, with the rest going to the Federation.
