It’s not just a sporting problem. FC Barcelona’s elimination from the UEFA Champions League group stage - which is not confirmed but seems extremely likely - will pose a financial shortfall for the Catalans.
Teams are rewarded for every point they gain and for advancing through the stages. It’s understood that the team was expecting to reach at least the quarterfinals.
Barring a small miracle, Barcelona will fall short of that.
Barça have earned almost 19 million from the group stage and could earn a further 5.6 million if they win their two next games.
