Barça secures a fortune for their direct qualification to the ...

The impact of FC Barcelona's victory over Benfica goes beyond sports. The Blaugrana have sealed their direct passage to the Round of 16 of the Champions League, a qualification that allows them to avoid the playoff and gives breathing room to the squad given the tight schedule, as they will play two fewer matches.

However, the economic aspect of the Catalan entity has also been brutally benefited by the success of Hansi Flick's team in the European competition. As of today, the culés have earned a total of 31.2 million euros, divided into the 18.6 'kilos' received for their participation in the tournament and 12.6 million for the 6 victories achieved in the championship, as each win is valued at 2.1 million.

Barça could earn a real 'fortune'

This income could be significantly increased if a series of conditions are met. If Barça wins their last group stage match against Atalanta, they would receive another 2.1 'kilos', which would raise the final prize to 33.3 million euros.

Additionally, qualification for the Round of 16 is rewarded by UEFA with 11 million euros, and if the culés manage to finish the group stage as the top team, they would earn an additional 10 'kilos', meaning the final haul could reach 53.4 million. An amount more than significant for the club's coffers, where they are rubbing their hands at the incoming revenue.
