Barcelona are in financial crisis.
Their debt has passed €1.2 billion, much of it repayable in the short term. But how does a club that made almost €1 billion in 2018-19 end up facing the very real prospect of bankruptcy?
And how do they get themselves out of this debt.
Explained by Alex Stewart, illustrated by Craig Silcock.

I don't get it , can you explain?
@@haoyuan5 It's a reference to Jack and the Beanstalk if you haven't seen it or heard of it before
@@haoyuan5 in the story Jack and the Beanstalk, Jack’s mother tells him to take their only cow to sell at a market.
But rather than sell the cow at the market for cash, he hands the cow over to a stranger for some “magic beans”. Which frankly could have been any old beans. This is a poor decision on Jack’s part, although in the context of the story the magic beans lead to untold riches for Jack and his mother.

Koeman paid his way out from Netherlands NT contract with his own money (close to 7m Eu if I think) to became Barca's manager and he said to the club to not pay his wages yet. He even reportedly paid with his own money to go to Barca museum. Talking about legends here.
Wow 👏 😮
Yet some "fans" still question him even though he never enetered the Mercato!!
And with a team whose most players are und-23 !
Koeman is a gentleman, an absolute legend. When he scored that goal in 1992 in Wembley I cried uncontrollably. I was 19, now 47, and the passion still burns deep inside.

@@ashleyburns6752
By other teams do you mean Man City and Chelsea?
Stop using the “we need to pay off the stadium loan” excuse. Their books always showed a massive profit from 2006-2016. 4-5 big signings would not have killed them. Wengers ego got in the way. He though he could keep finding gems on the cheap like RVP, cesc, Adebayor, Henry, Ljungberg, Pires, Lehman but instead we got El Neny, Tomas Einsfeld, alumnia, Marouhane Chamakh, Yaya Sanogo

“Barcelona has the highest wage bill yet nowhere near the best squad “ That really hit me hard. Our situation is very very sad 😞
Yep, Barcelona should fire their sporting director immediately.

When you're paying the equivalent of the entire salary of the Leicester City team on the wages for one player then you're asking for trouble...
Well technically Messi his salary is the only one that is justifiable as they make more money on having him in the club on shirt sales and normally also ticket sales for people who want to see him play. The salary of other Barcelona players are way worse as they do not perform at all and just cost way too much money.
The problem isn't Messi, it's the last 5. Griezmann earns more than De Bruyne, KDB combined
Oh no, it means that Barca can no longer sign Tifo's favorite recommendation Ibrahim Sangare to bolster their midfield ☹️
Frenkie De Jong was reportedly surprised how much wages Bartomeu was offering him to join Barca
even maldini would leave milan if barto offered him a contract
@@Josh-zu7th Fartomeu really is a clown.
Je was also surprised by how little physical training he did at his initial period.

Guys like Bartomeu really need to be accountable. Not having people check his decisions was criminal.
You think the issues are down to just one person?
Barcelona have been a ticking disaster for the last three decades. These issues go right back into the 1990s.
@@bighands69 Back to the 90s? What are you talking about? Barcelona have been one of the most successful teams on the pitch and off the pitch since that time. And yes, The President of a club is accountable for all that goes on.
Last time I was this early Barca weren't in debt.
@SK - 08KJ 762349 Roberta Bondar PS agreed that's what us Barca fans need to acknowledge signing players is not the objective keeping messi is top priority but look what needs to happen alongside that as far as debt us concerned the club should not be splashing money, they should try to lower the wages of players this might be difficult considering that since the 4-1 defeat against psg Barcelona found a spark that fired them up players are motivated they seem to be on the right path as far as young talents go , dembele is showing some signs of success, pedri , de Jong and puig are l doing great , Ansu fati is key right now getting him back would be amazing, moriba has also been very good and of course mingueza and lenglet. Barca have problems buying the wrong players I mean they could've bought haaland but chose Kevin prince boateng... martin braithwaite is showing some stuff sort of like the paulinho factor
They should do a reform, normalize the player's wages as well as the transfer, rejuvenate the academy and Barca B functionality, sort out the unnecessary spending, etc.
It'll be hard to do that while keeping up with Real Madrid at the same time, but sometimes that kind of radical move is what needed to "reset" everything onto the right path.
barca has always been in debt
@SK - 08KJ 762349 Roberta Bondar PS see the thing is if Messi goes they gotta say bye bye to revenue
@SK - 09CM 762349 Central Peel SS your comment aged like fine wine.
I love how superclubs see their debt problems and massive revenues and then think the solution is to get more money rather than managing or cut spending better
Combination of too big to fail and really financial bad management.
This is a problem that is baked into modern Spanish culture. Which is a microcosm of the EU economy.
Come on dude, even Americans have heard of Barca or Real. If you have the right brand, money will always be available.
Or they cut costs by firing a few kitchen staff and cleaners
@@timdev615 the bubble will always burst.
Cutting will lead to AC Milan - not always a smart idea. If you want to attract top players, you need top players in the team as well. You need to spend but spend wisely.
Imagine having a billion dollar debt and still saying we'll try getting Haaland. Sounds funny? Thats what Laporta did.
I'm convinced the interest in Haaland is only a tactic to make him more expensive for other clubs.
Real Madrid is also in 900 Million debt(yet they are after big players).
Atletico are in nearly 1 billion debt for a long time(yet they signed Felix)
So Barca is the only team in debt is a myth almost every huge team are in somewhat big debt
@@fargo1234 Real Madrid’s debt is mostly the costs of renovating their stadium, which set them back by 650 million, and probably could be repaid quite easily if stadiums come back to full capacity
@@fargo1234 major part of our debt is to be paid in 30 years. Our short term debt is 3 times lesser than that of Barcelona's.👍
@@fargo1234 Have you not watched the video or are just too stupid to understand both situations are different.

Dude, when ucl is playing the stadium is always full.
@@anwan5 only in the big games so thats what 4 games a season maybe? And even than it's rarely sold out, it's been a problem here in Spain for awhile.

@@SG0041 its not only 4 games lol...
@@anwan5 you said ucl? It depends on how far you go in the tournament mate, look it up if you think I'm making it up, pretty much every team in la liga is suffering from this
@@SG0041 is Real not also increasing the capacity of their stadium right now?
Tifo is always throwing us off our feet with the topics of their videos. Keep it up guys
It is noteworthy that in their 2020 budget it was forecasted to, not only win the league, cup and reach quarter finals of the Champions League, but that their match day revenue would be back by september of last year.
This means that they've overestimated thei budget by a lot, so when end-of-season comes their loses will be even greater
Yet nobody is talking about the systemic issues that are to be seen everywhere, on every level. Insane transfer fees, non-sustainable wages and (i.m.o. worst of all) banking of future success. All while youth systems are neglected by major clubs.
It has become an industry that is dependent on loans, olicharchs and sheiks. Bound to collapse one day if this will continue.
It will come crashing down sooner than we think.
Almost everyone here is talking about that
@Roy Van Der Marel
Take this to the bank will you. In the next few decades certain football clubs will not exists.
@@bighands69 Yes, and oxygen will be oxygen.
@@bighands69 while I agree with you, banks in Spain will never take the risk of rejecting a club like Barca or demanding a sudden deposit of a couple of million euros. Just think of all the publicity that would generate, which could backfire harder on that bank than bending their rules for a football club. As crooked as that may be.
I know u said fringe players, but we all know u meant 'french' 🥲
💀
Yes and those same players play well for france. Maybe give Didier Deschamps a call?
@@WizoIstGott like who ?
Lenglet and Dembele don’t really play.
Griezmann usually plays well, when the whole team plays well.
And it’s solely due to the fact that he takes more risks there. He shoots when he doesn’t even feel that he can score. With Barça, he never shoots even when he’s supposed to.
And when he shoots, it’s usually because he can’t dribble and make himself closer to the net.
And that’s our problem. We have 11 players who all depend on Messi’s genius vision and passing to be serviced closer to the opposition and score.
(Except for Dembele when he sometimes takes on players, but his dribbles are useless. They never end in a creative pass).
Yes same thing here. I was even going to comment that they'd have to get rid of Greizmann 😆
@@WizoIstGott they do bro. But france aint barca bro. Different team, different setup, different games

Paying silly money for wages is a huge part of what's put them in this mess
Well there are many variables that decide wage increases or how much a player should be paid. For eg: In some cases players that resign have a wage increase that is very common. Messi wages is nearly half a sqaud at some clubs in top flight leagues, or an entire team.
They wanted to compete with the super rich sugar daddy clubs so they spent what they needed to still be competitive. Maybe you might find it silly but socios were thrilled for years on end.
@@TheJtorres182 👍 Look at Man United they have some of the lowest wages to turnover in the premier league. As Tifo said Real madrids wages to turnover is very good.
@@wizzer4385 doesn't Messi generate double the money he's paid. And plus he also plays for them.

What makes this even crazier is the fact that they are The most valuable team in the world right now in the sport at least
Valuations are deceptive - they represent all of the assets - including ones that are neccessary to run the org, like Camp Nou. Barca has a cash flow problem more than anything else
Most "valuable" because of the high wage contract most players have. Not surprising considering the fact that players like pique have lesser impact compared to they once did whilst still having such high wage contract valid.

The more I see videos like this, the more I understand why they are joining the European Super League.They need the money desperately.
The media and fans portrayed it as pure greed. In reality it’s more about financial survival.
Also probably a part of the reason why the Bundesliga clubs didn’t join. They don’t need to. They are run conservatively and incredibly well for the most part (financially speaking).
@@SunsetSheen Correct for the first part, not so much for the second. Being soundly run isn't going to save German football clubs from being overpowered by the financial might of PSG and PL clubs. They may still generate profits but will ultimately be unable to compete for European glory. Television money is the only stream that keeps growing, yet it's now growing as much for the Bundesliga as it does for the PL. With the pandemic no growth in commercial deals and ticket sales for the next few years.
@@SunsetSheen it’s financial survival thanks to the greedy and foolish decisions made by Barcelona in the first place.

Would be interesting. Cheers
Schalke cannot keep spending so it mean at some point the party had to stop.
How they get around this will be something to take note of. Because money will be an issue after Messi leaves
as soon as the stadium opens for fans. it'll be much more possible.
stadium reopens= stacks of cash
How many will attend. They can't fill their stadium on a best day.
@@Josh-zu7th He's talking about after Messi leaves. Messi's fans are like 1/3 of the fan base. Who's going to show up after he leaves.
@@kieronparr3403 We average 53k on stadiums every match, the debt can be overcome if stadiums get opened and we get a loan from a bank, worst case scenario I feel someone would buy us like how Abrahomovich did to Chelsea to save them from debt (Which wouldn't be pleasant too much but as I said it would be last chance)
They have over 1b $ debts, and they still buy Players for 70M 😂😂
I'd say having 3 forwards that costs €400 mil that have yet to have consistent performances week in week out helped that too. Dembele Coutinho and Griezmann has been underperforming for way too long thus severely lowering their marketability and that also translates to Barcelona cannot make huge money of those 3. If Bayern had bought Coutinho back then, this could have been reduced but even Bayern did not see Coutinho as worth of spending €120 mil.
Barcelona's marketability is exclusively because Messi is there.
The moment Messi goes, all those sponsorships that came with Messi will all go away.
Yup your videos are soothing! I love the background music, it's calming.

The comment about super league doesnt sound so far away today:D haha
This will be the legacy of Bartomeu. Wouldn’t be surprised if Barça become what Man Utd were for the next couple of years
Nah they have some absolutely incredible youth players and Laporta seems to have a strategy of using them. I think they can keep up as a top team without any big money signings.
Or worse, be like Milan was a decade ago.
Bartomeu is a Madrid legend. We wish him great life ahead. 😁
La Masia produces great talent, they will never end up like Man U.
The thing is la Masia is probably the best football academy in the world, they have produced probably some of the best players not just of this era but some of the best players ever and if we go full on la Masia even for the next 10 years Barcelona can still maintain their standards, and looking at the talents we have coming out of the academy, as a barca fan I'm not worried at all.
Fun fact: the 7th highest paid Barcelona player earns more than the highest paid Real Madrid player.
And yet real is still ahead of barca in la liga, what a shame.
Solution :
1) sign Haaland for €150 million
2) keep Messi and his €500k per month wages
3) sell Barca youths for cheap. All of them
Oh wait...
Lmfao so true
Already did by BARTHEMOU
Messi is earning 71m a year, thats 5,9m a month and 1,2m a week.

I can only imagine Alice's giddy excitement upon reading "vicious circle" in the script 4:32
6:38 they picked option 2 :(
till today their debts are getting more and more still cannot clear
1st Tifo video and although I am not a football fan (cricket all the way). Always been interested in the economic side of football.
Well researched and presented video.
Thanks
6:41 well it escalated too fast
Bartomeu... that’s all I have to say..
You forgot to mention the fact that while Madrid is also in debt, they are more successful than Barca so there is more inflow from winnings than in Barca, while they haven't made many astronomically expensive transfers in a fairly long time.
Funfact- the year Barca won the treble, it already had about 300 million debt. The thing is that banks allow Barcelona to have such exorbitant debts because they generate the most money as well, and that too by some margin. The problem with the current situation isn't the huge amount (actually barca were supposed to have half a billion debt by 2021 even without covid) but more how the debt is structured. They need to renegotiate the debt to longer term debt.
Also, the banks woud not want to make barca bankrupt simply because how massive the amount is. About 10-15million is the loss that banks usually try to ignore when taking over assets of any such indebted club. Barca (tho much more valuable than the above examples) also have such massive debt that banks would want quicker repayment and they know that changing the ownership model will mean that the debt takes even longer to repay.
Every big club is in debt expect for bayern
Exactly this, as long as their assets are higher than the liabilities they’ll be fine. Obviously the cash flow is a problem since they need to service short term debt, but what are banks gonna do? Have them go into bankruptcy and sell assets to repay the ST debt, or convert those loans into LT ones and have them pay interest over a longer period. The amount of debt itself is not a problem as long as you can service it.
Looks like Barca found a way to solve their debt issues...
Yes, they are selling nude photos of my mother, ha! Oh, I mean YOUR mother, ha!

Real Madrid audited accounts for the 19/20 season were around 300K€ gains for the season, no losses at all, certainly not 100M€.
Great topics bro
Great work.
Watching this in September, Barcelona already managed to lose one of the talents mentioned as a way out of this mess in Moriba.
im quite suprised that the possibility of messi leaving in the summer was not really brought up in the video. him leaving would obviously worsen their financial difficulties.
Amazing explaining
Joe: "The European Super League is unlikely to happen in the short term"
Guess what, Joe is sometimes wrong.
What do you know, maybe De Gea is still a world class keeper.
perez managed to reduce real madrid debt in his first presedency with spending and building galacticos era, so it is not impossible for barca and laporte to do it while spending
@Zidni Imani not just that, he brought super stars that attracted more fans and sold more merchandise,
made the stars give a 50 percent or more of the their image rights to generate more money

Was that the big guy from Can’t Pay We’ll Take It Away at the door? 😂
If the Super League plans being put into reality than they would receive a 3.5 bn payday.. This would not just erase their debts but also will help them to keep Messi.. I don't want to trigger any discussion if that's a good idea or not but Barças case for participating is clear.. They need that founding member bonus.
Financial recovery vs. integrity & soul of the club.
Selling Messi would have been such a boost considering the pressure eased of the wage bill but ooh well . . .
I'd argue Messi actually brings way more revenue to the club than his wages would suggest.
Yes but you will lose much more in revenue so that's not a choice.
@@Sasquatch10 you live in parallel universe,people don't bye anymore Messi tops and insignia and don't watch Barcelona because of messi that used to be the case not anymore...
@@orahovavucichitlerdacicgoe7223 of course people but Messi shirts and watch just because of Messi. I completely disagree.
Feeling a lot better as a United fan now lol, Barca left all their great prospects from the academy leave, literally every big club from ajax to city to psg has a la masia player they got for nothing in their squad
Y'know we have one too right? Some fullback or smtg... 😁
Also did u notice we are no more in the top 5 highest wages paid clubs now
@@ineednoname3158 yep
Tbf tho Barca has a better future and present than Man U
Joe Devine voice is the reason why I watched tifofootball. His voice attracted me so much and his voice is really overwhelmingly
Brilliant video.
yea.. they are really struggling
Barcelona: We're screwed, what do we do? We need someone to bail us out.
Perez: I have JUST the solution 🤭
Perez: 🌟 European Stuper League 🌟
Nice piece
**looks at bank account**
well... at least i won't go into debt yet if i buy some pizza later...
Sadly, many big Brazilian football clubs have similar debt picture in the context of a devalued currency and much lesser revenue generating capacity. An ode to financial risk taking taking by dodgy club officials that prey on passionate supporters’ thirst for success...
The supporters also push for this. The average supporter doesn't have finances in mind over success. If they don't preform they are are out of a job.

The shock plan was ESL.
I'd like to see Pep coming back and work with a club in depth and bring back success to his former club and prove he doesn't need need infinite money to make a good team. That's will be a proper challenge for him.
The same pep who admitted he needs to spend millions to win?
Yeah pep is the best or 2nd best manager in the world he will demand the best not just suffer
Pep might come back and take a wage cut. Pep is on some big time wages at Man City. Barcelona still owe some players wages which they say they will pay them back in the future.
Why can't he do that at City? City's academy is good, but he prefers buying more players for the bench
@@antares9973 👍I agree, There sqaud and talent is on another level to Barcelona currently.
