Barcelona just beat Napoli 3-1 at Montjuic to qualify for the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Barça took the quarter in C1 after a brilliant qualification against Naples. It’s important for the team, simply because they have a goal to achieve. It is also important for Xavi, who can therefore be proud of his time with his club.
But it is also a vital source of money for the club. Sport estimates the value of the operation for the Blaugrana at 15 million euros, or around 10 million euros for the price of the competition and 5 million euros for the revenue generated by the matches at Montjuic.
€15M already spent
Of course, this doesn’t go straight into their pockets – in fact, according to this article, Joan Laporta and the Barcelona hierarchy had already factored this sum into their budget. They will have to go further and reach the semi-finals if they really want to improve their lot.
But it is better to have the money planned than not to have it. The club is still battling the financial crisis and every little bit counts.
