Suffering is not just sports. In addition to the stain of humiliation of being eliminated in the Champions League group stage for the first time in 20 years, Barcelona must also face the blow where it hurts the most: the economy.
Since the beginning of the season, the goal of the club was, at least, to reach the quarterfinals. Until that instance, the culés assured 20.2 million euros that would have served to pay different debts or add them in the well for a possible signing.
However, with the season and abrupt exit in the first phase, Barza now only remains for the moment with 500 thousand euros that the Europa League gives to reach the 16th final compared to the 9.6 million that the Champions gives for the eighths.
To recover what was lost, the task is not easy. Now the goal has changed and they now have their eyes set on the Europa League final. Just reaching the last game, the club receives 10.9 million euros, while if it wins the trophy the figure rises to 14.9. If they want to get out of the hole, the institution cannot afford to lose more games or more money.
