How much would Barcelona earn for finishing 2nd in La Liga? | OneFootball

An insight into the importance of finishing out the season in 2nd place in the La Liga table for Barcelona has today been forthcoming online.

The info comes courtesy of Diario Sport, and highlights the financial factors at play in Barca’s finish to the campaign.

The Blaugrana, of course, are fresh off something of a nightmare week, which saw their remaining hopes of glory on both the domestic and continental fronts brought to an end.

Xavi’s troops, though, still have more than just pride to play for.

This comes with qualification for the Supercopa de España at stake.

Three of the four openings for the next Spanish Super Cup have already been filled, by Copa del Rey finalists Athletic Club and Mallorca, and reigning champions Real Madrid.

One therefore remains up for grabs, for the team who finish out the La Liga season in 2nd.

Barcelona, as things stand, occupy this position, but with Girona just two points back, runners-up status is far from assured.

In the case of holding on to seal qualification for the Super Cup, Barca will secure for themselves a minimum of around €6 million.

Miss out, on the other hand, and the club’s already delicate financial situation will be compromised ever further…
