Theresa May infamously once told a nurse who hadn’t had a pay rise for eight years that 'there is no magic money tree'. The former Prime Minister was actually wrong because such a tree has been found at the Camp Nou, which is home to Barcelona.
It was claimed last year that Barcelona are €1.3 billion in debt and club president Joan Laporta even declared the club 'clinically dead' following his election after the previous regime condemned it to financial ruin.
Lionel Messi was forced to leave Barcelona last summer due to their economic situation and incomings like Memphis Depay and Sergio Aguero were signed on free transfers.
Barcelona played in the Europa League last season and it seemed it would take years for the club to return to the top of the table, considering their financial dire straits.
