Actually it'd be a lot funnier if Barca drop and are immediately owned

Europa League money is the square root of gently caress all so in fairness it makes no material difference if they beat Arsenal 10-2 on aggregate and then lose in the final to FK Qarabag while wearing a shirt with Lewis Capaldi's loving old scottish face on it, but it will reap a rich harvest of lols and lmaos to tide us through the winter

how much money does the conference, or whatever the third tier competition is called, generate?

CL to Europa to Conference is like a 7:2:1 ratio.

On the basis of the above revenue forecast and allocations, the total amount available for distribution to participating clubs in 2022/23 is �2.732bn, of which �2.032bn will be distributed to clubs competing in the UEFA Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup, �465m will be distributed to clubs participating in the UEFA Europa League and �235m will be distributed to clubs participating in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Y�all are having a laugh, the CL group stage just had a classic 3:3 between Barca and Inter. There�s nothing like a big loving Champion�s League game.

Today starts our fairytale Europa League* story.

Napoli are only looking to break their all time winning record, currently the most in form team in Europe, and wanting to cement their spot as number 1 in the group before facing Liverpool.

Rangers managed a 1-1 draw on Saturday.

*23/24

Big congrats to Europa league quarter-finalists FC Barcelona

Barcelona head coach Xavi Hernandez said the squad will gather to watch Inter Milan take on Viktoria Plzen in the Camp Nou dressing room with the "small hope" of seeing their flagging Champions League campaign revived.

I'm sure they're going to play super well against Bayern after this

They could probably sell the footage of the full first team watching the Inter - Pilzen match in the dressing room before they play Bayern themselves. I'd sure as hell watch it.

This is actually part of the strategy. As far as I can tell from a two minute look at wikipedia, winning the Europa League actually gets you �800,000 more than getting to the Champions League quarter final. And for a club with that many levers, what could go wrong?

Pretty sure that's prize money only. The difference in TV money is massive.

After slightly more investigation, yes. It appears that Barcelona will have to find around twenty million more euros to make up this deficit.

Oh they'll have to find a lot more than that. There are ticket prices, merch sales, sponsor bonuses etc.
