RFEF has now reached an agreement with Saudi Arabia to host mini-tournaments in the Middle East country until 2029, reportedly worth €30 million, ($34 million) per season. The 2019-20 season was the first to be hosted by Saudi Arabia.

Further proof of Saudi Arabia's global sports ambitions and the agreement, arranged by RFEF chairman Luis Rubiales.

However, as Saudi Arabia has emerged as a powerful stakeholder in the global sports world, the country's human rights record has come under the spotlight, with activists accusing the country of "sports washing" - a phenomenon in which corrupt or authoritarian regimes invest in sporting events to launder its international reputation.

Ahead of Tuesday's game, Athletic Bilbao midfielder Raul Garcia - whose side will face Atletico Madrid in the other semi-final on Thursday - called for the tournament to be held in Saudi Arabia. The decision was "complete nonsense".

"Football has changed and the fans have forgotten, perhaps I'm old school, I don't think I need to say that. All and sundry can see it," Garcia said, according to Reuters.

Despite protests, the tournament will be played abroad for a minimum of eight years, with Real Madrid being the first team to book a place in Sunday's final on Wednesday.

The match against Barcelona, at the King Fahd Stadium in Riyadh, turned out to be exactly what the Saudi organizers had hoped for in the match opener.

While Dutch striker Luuk de Jong equalized Barcelona just before half-time, Vinicius Jr gave Real Madrid the lead in the 25th minute.

Karim Benzema scored with less than 20 minutes to go and Real Madrid looked on their way to victory, but teenager Ansu Fati's goal seven minutes later added extra time.

However, Real Madrid took the lead again after eight minutes of extra time via Valverde, while Barcelona failed to equalize for the third time, meaning Los Blancos now face Atletico Madrid or Bilbao on Sunday's Esports final. King Abdullah Sports City stadium.
