Though it didn’t manage to make it past the league phase, a first participation in the Champions League made Girona a respectable $34.8 million . Unsurprisingly, already-moneyed Paris Saint-Germain was the King of the Hill for going all the way to its maiden UCL crown and therefore receiving $168 million .

It’s sums like this, plus increased revenue from the recently reopened Spotify Camp Nou, which will help the club get back on its feet - and perhaps allow FC Barcelona make the marquee signings it did of yesteryear in future transfer windows.
