Bad business for FC Barcelona in Belgium. Xavi’s team lost a embarrassing 3-2 against Royal Antwerp, a result that leaves the economic aspirations of the Blaugranas ‘touched’ in this season in which the Champions League was vital for the culés’ coffers.
The club, to date, adds a total of 70.55 million euros in the 2023/24 editionthanks to the initial income of 15.64 million and the 34.11 that UEFA paid the club for its position in the competition’s historical ranking. In addition, Xavi’s team added 2.8 million in each of the 4 victories in the 5 games prior to their visit to Belgium and a bonus of 9.6 million for qualifying for the round of 16.
HOW MUCH DOES BARÇA STOP WINNING AGAINST ANTWERP?
With the duel lost, Barça can forget about the 2.8M that the top European club competition grants to the winners of each match. The worst news for the culés is that they had the tie in their hands with Marc Guiu’s goal in stoppage time, a result that allowed them to earn a good sum of money.
The Champions, For each tie, the clubs receive 930,000 euros, a figure that Barça cannot afford not to fight for today.. Ilenikhena’s goal in the 92nd minute, however, ended that possibility.
THE DEFEAT AGAINST SHAKHTAR DID DAMAGE
The Barça’s defeat in Hamburg against Shakhtar Donetsk already did a lot of damage to the Blaugrana board. Within the club they had high hopes of earning almost three million from the European victory, but the complete setback in Germany set off financial alarms.
In fact, as we already told you in SPORT, The club had to definitively activate the emergency plan for the friendly in Dallas to gain four extra kilossomething that Barça planned to leave in the drawer of ideas if they won in the Champions League.
