"Barcelona's push to finish inside the UEFA Champions League top eight has already paid dividends far beyond the pitch. Securing direct qualification for the round of 16 was a sporting objective, but its financial impact could prove just as important for the club's plans this season. While Barça needed a helping hand from other results on the final matchday, the end result has significantly strengthened their economic position in Europe."
"According to figures reported by AS, Barcelona will receive €11 million purely for qualifying directly for the round of 16 and skipping the playoff stage. That amount increases once placement bonuses are added. By finishing inside the top 16, Barcelona earn an additional €2 million. Their final position of fifth place in the league phase brings a further €8.8 million. Barcelona also benefited heavily from their match results, as five victories in the league phase generated €10.5 million, with each win valued at €2.1 million."
