The FC Barcelona will face a commitment in the last date of the phase of groups of the League of Champions in front of Viktoria Plzen, that does not suppose more than a formality to fulfil with the calendar established. Even so, it will be important to obtain the victory in this meeting, taking in account the premiación monetary that will be at stake in the crash fixed for the Tuesday 1 November.
Any of the teams has options to classify to the following phase: the Barça will contest the playoffs of the Europe League, whereas the Czechs will not see more action to continental level in what it subtracts of the season. But the three points at stake, although unimportant for the classification, come accompanied by an economic prize of 1,5 million euros.
In case to obtain the victory, the team of Xavi Hernández will mitigate a bit the monetary impact of not to have classified between the 16 better teams of the continent, what would have supposed an entry of 9,6 million euros. In fact, the Catalan entity had presupuestado reach like minimum the quarter-finals, what to his time would have added a mount upper to the 10 'kilos' to the arks of the club.
The triumph culé luce like the most likely stage when treating of the only team in front of which has been possible to obtain the victory in the tournament, in addition to being the feeblest in the liguilla. But in case of a tie, the premiación could reduce until the 500.000 euros, whereas a defeat in Czech territory would not add any quantity for the Barcelona.
