Barça getting it done on both ends this season
All 11 players who started in Barcelona’s win over Inter Milan at the San Siro in December 2019 are no longer at the club
Real Madrid have also used economic levers to recover cash.
The club gave away 30% of the future Bernabeu to avoid a €170M debt.
This allowed the club to cover the increase in the club’s wage bill, among other things.
