What happened to that FCBarca poster?

Lionel Messi: un contrat à plus de 100 millions d’euros par an

D’après de nouveaux documents obtenus dans le cadre des Football Leaks, Lionel Messi a obtenu du FC Barcelone un revenu minimum qui dépasse les 100 millions d’euros par saison. Du jamais vu. Plus de …

He earns €60m a year in salary and €11m in image rights from the club.

He has a signing bonus of €65m paid yearly, €16m a year.

He has a loyalty bonus of €70m paid pro rata every year he's at the club for the 4 year deal - €17m

He can earn up to €25m more in bonuses including -

€2m for playing 60% of games in a season.
€2.7m for winning the league.
Up to €12m for winning the CL paid out in stages (so he'll still get a chunk for 1/4 finals)

The salary is so high that board members told Messi's father in an email they are worried about the dressing room finding out just how much he earns.

So, how did Rockefeller play? Obscene money.

Difficult to accurately portray how bad Barca were. Caused 90% of their own problems. Bayern pressed well but Barca were terrible at passing it out just making terrible decisions or half hearted attempts at clearing. At one point Alba has been on the deck injured - he's trying to run it off and he's given the ball under pressure. The defence played like school kids and kept being drawn to the ball instead of playing with any structure. Bayern were pretty ruthless which is bad for our defence should we get past Lyon

 

[Txiki Txiki Bang Bang]

Look past Lyon and we'll get our arses spanked. Focus on tomorrow and nothing else. Hate Bayern though.

I disagree, this reminds me of the build up to the 6-1 trashing of the rags. We would hold our own against Bayern.

And that is just *one* of the problems they have right now.

And it doesn't include the multimillion euro payments they make to the Lionel Messi foundation charity every year, or the multimillion euro settlement they paid when the Spanish taxman audited them and said it looked like a tax dodge.

Bayern were very good but Barca were disgraceful. Downed tools after half an hour.

What gives me hope it that if we beat Lyon Bayern play a ridiculously high line at the back and we can exploit that. We would get chances against them(Boteng was awful) but we would have to be ruthless and take our chances.

Barca scored 2 without even trying

lets hope bayern have had their day in the sun today and think they have won it already and be giving it the
(billy big bollock) and fuck up ? but the job manchester city have to get done is lyon nothing else matters until the result then we pick the bones out of tonight

If he has got any brains tonight's the night Leroy realises that he has fucked himself. He got fewer games at City than he thought he should because Pep didn't like him not backing up when the left back went passed him. Bayern play their left back just like Pep does. If he wants games Leroy will have to adapt..

 

[dobingsdobber]

Of course he was. They had no possession, he was surround by 4+ players the moment he got the ball with no one around him, there were no runners on the wings to pass to.

It's like when people criticise our striker when we just bombard crosses into the box and nothing happens...what did you expect? It's a 5'9'' guy surrounded by 5 defenders and a keeper with no support.

Keeper shouldn't be playing if he needs to wear a support.

As I said, they are in a very precarious financial position right now, much more so than publicly known.

That can be said of many clubs due to the pandemic and other economic impacts right now, of course, but most of Barca’s problems started well before the pandemic.

They are just reaping what they sowed more quickly because of current conditions.

If not for the near free money on offer right now, they would be in dire, dire straits.
