Barcelona desperate to continue in Champions League to help finances

Barcelona are desperate to continue in the Champions League.

That's according to Okdiario's chief pundit Eduardo Inda, speaking on El Chiringuito.

Barca host the second-leg of their Champions League round 16 tie tonight.

Inda said: "There is concern in Barça because the budget is made thinking that you get to the quarters and if they fail the decrease in money would be around 10 million euros.

"That looks like little money in soccer, but Barça has a debt that has them on the ropes of more than 1,500 million and not adding those 10 million is a tragedy.

"They are praying everything that can be said to continue in the Champions League. They would stop adding that money and their economy is not shooting rockets."
