FC Barcelona: The pasture that Bara loses if it is eliminated in Munich

Ehe Barcelona will play this Wednesday the pass to the knockout stages of the Champions League. In addition to the obvious sporting achievement, there is a lot of money at stake at stake. To be eliminated will suppose for the entity a heavy economic blow of 20.2 million of euros. The club has budgeted to reach the quarterfinals of the competition and this is the money that it will receive for playing the two rounds. Entering the round of 16 is 9.6 million, while reaching the fourths would mean 10.6 million more.

At such a delicate moment in Barcelona’s economy, getting this amount is essential to have money in hand and power reinforce the team in the next summer market. At this time, it will be very difficult for the team to get a player in January due to the problems it has with the salary bill. In fact, at this time They are looking for loaned players.

Being eliminated in the group stage would mean that loss of more than 20 million. A figure that could be compensated with what the team obtained for its route in the Europa League. In this competition, however, the prizes have little to do with those offered by the Champions League. If Barcelona managed to win it, you will receive a total of 14.9 million. That is, it will lose 5.3 compared to what is budgeted for the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

For the Europa League to be moderately profitable, the team has to reach the final. If he were eliminated in the semifinals, he would receive only 6.3 million, which the global loss would be practically 14 milllones. It is clear that at an economic level, being eliminated from the Champions League is a very hard blow for the club because in its current situation it is not in a position to give up any income.

Keep in mind that the more money the club generates, either through these awards given by the Champions or various sponsorships, the future budget will be increasing so that the salary bill that is in line with the overall budget of the club is alleviated.
