• Chronicle Barça loses its sanity against Inter and is one step away from the Europa League

Barça is at the gates of tripping over the same stone.

A year later, the Barça team can be seen out of the Champions League in the group stage.

For this, it is enough for Inter to beat Viktoria Plzen at home.

It will be a blow with harsh consequences not only at a sporting level, but also economically.

For now, the income that the club had planned to reach, at least, the quarterfinals of the highest European competition have already gone to waste.

And that supposes a negative impact of 20.2 million euros, to which should also be added possible losses at the box office.

So far, the Camp Nou crowd has shown a great response, but that can change a lot in the Europa League.

It is enough to remember, for example, the sad image that was given when the Eintracht supporters took the stadium in the second leg of the quarterfinals of this competition last season.

Reaching the knockout stages of the Champions League involves a UEFA payment of 9.6 million euros.

Going to the quarterfinals adds 10.6 million more.

For getting into the semifinals, the income is 12.5 million euros.

The finalists, to finish, each receive 15.5 million euros.

An amount that increases by 4.5 million euros more for the winner.

Throughout its participation in this edition of the top European competition, Barça has earned 15.64 million euros for its participation in the group stage, to which it has added 2.8 million for its victory against Viktoria Plzen, the only one he has achieved so far, and 930,000 for the draw against Inter.

According to the estimates made by the entity last year, the only way to compensate for this future disaster would be to win the Europa League.

The joy of Real Madrid

Comparisons with the eternal rival, Real Madrid, are also hateful.

The Madrid team secured their presence in the round of 16 with their last-minute draw with Shakhtar Donetsk and last year, with their fourteenth European Cup, they also became the team that managed to add the most revenue from sports prizes in the Champions League.

In total, he made almost 120 million euros, thanks to making his way step by step to the final in Paris, taking the title against Liverpool, adding five wins in the group stage and adding 36.4 to all those prizes. million euros for its 10-year coefficient ranking.
