Barcelona wrapped up their Champions League league phase campaign with a 2-2 draw against Atalanta, securing a second-place finish in their group.

Despite coming close to topping the table, Liverpool edged Barca out with a two-point advantage.

While missing out on the top spot may be a slight disappointment, the financial rewards for Barça’s strong performance in the group stage are significant.

By finishing second and securing direct qualification to the Round of 16, the club has earned a substantial €45 million in prize money.

This figure is just the beginning, as Barcelona have the opportunity to add even more to their earnings with a deep run in the knockout rounds. Every step forward in the competition will bring in additional revenue, providing both financial and sporting motivation for Hansi Flick’s side as they aim for European glory.
