Apparently, clubs get €400m for playing in ESL. That’s a fucking big amount. Barca fans should be extremely happy that we gain massive amount of money. It gives us better opportunity to continue pay Messi's wages and sign Mbappe or Haaland.

Money have always been a driving force in all professional sports for several decades.

:cheers:

Betis with 1-1 goal.

Dembele is one of the biggest underachievers in recent history. It's crazy to think both him and Mbappe used to be regarded on same level a handful of years ago.

Benzema was great tonight
