Mundo Deportivo reports that FC Barcelona has already accumulated around €81.1M for their sporting performances in the Champions League this year. If Barca qualifies for the semi-finals by beating PSG today, they will earn them €12.5M more. Reaching the Champions League Final would give them €15.5M more, but if they win the entire tournament, the club will earn €20M more. This would motivate the team and the club even more as it could help them with their economic struggles over the past few years. The club still has a debt worth over $1 billion according to some Spanish reports.

Xavi's plan for his FC Barcelona team against PSG for today's game

Xavi spoke ahead of the second leg against PSG, and he was asked if he would play differently from how FC Barcelona played against PSG in the first leg last week, which gave them a 3-2 win away at Paris. Xavi said, "Doing something different vs. PSG? No, I think we need to defend almost the same way. Let's see what PSG's system does, but we need to be a team. In attack, we need to access these spaces. I think we need to show our best level, and show character to qualify for the semi-finals."
