The Barcelona in the Europe League? What this would involve

After losing 0-3 against the Bayern in the first party of Champions, and repeat the same negative result in front of the Benfica in the second day of the phase of groups have confirmed the worst prognoses of the Barcelona, since now it sees engaged the classification of the blaugranas to eighth of final. The result could remit to the Catalan square to play in the Europe League, a competition that the Barcelona group has not been present from his new nomenclature.

Further of the sportive failure that would suppose this and the devaluation of the prestige of the team that some time was used to to be favourite to win the maximum European competition, also will involve economic consequences for a club that already has some extremely decimated accounts by debts worsened by the pandemia of the coronavirus.

The difference of income

The difference of income is considerable between the two tournaments. While in the Champions League receive 15 millions the teams that contest the phase of groups, the ones of the Europe League receive 3'63 millions. Figure that equivale to less than a third of what already have ingresado in the current course.

Likewise, it is distinct the quantity that win in each triumph that obtain. While in the UCL each club wins 2'8 millions in this first phase, is not upper to the 630.000 euros that perceive in the UEL. Likewise, the distance also is present in the two first competitions when they treat of the eliminatory. Of the 9.6 millions that would earn if they arrive to the eighth of final of the Champions, the groups of the UEL only perceive 1.2 millions.

Another abysmal difference

The pattern repeats if they compare the quantities that win in the quarter-finals. While the teams that classify to the round in question embolsan 10' 6 millions, the eight better clubs of the Europe League do not win more than 2 millions. In the semifinals is more than the same since in the UCL would win 12.5 millions and in the UEL only 2.8 millions.

While the two teams of Champions perceive more than 15 millions for arriving to the last round of the competition, the two finalists of the UEL only obtain 4.6. The only that does not seem to be the difference is the quantity that receive the winners of both competitions, in which the inequality only is of half million.
