Despite finishing 19th in the Premier League, English football club "Burnley" will earn more revenue than Spanish football club "Barcelona".
Idman.Biz reports that the compensation payment that the English club will receive after being relegated to the lower league is expected to be approximately 57 million euros (114 million AZN). The amount that "Barcelona" will receive for winning La Liga is estimated to be around 54 million euros (108 million AZN).
This is not about the prize money "Burnley" received for 19th place, but about the compensation system that the Premier League provides for clubs relegated to the lower division. In England, these payments are intended to cushion the financial blow after a club leaves the elite.
