Barcelona Announce Record Income, Though Profits Down From Previous Season

For a sixth successive season, Barcelona have announced record revenue figures, though the club's profits are down from 2018.

 

Barcelona have confirmed record revenues of €990million during the 2018-19 campaign, though the club's profits fell from 2018.
Ernesto Valverde's side retained their LaLiga title last term, though the season ended in disappointing fashion with a Copa del Rey final loss to Valencia following a disastrous defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League semi-finals.
Off the pitch Barca - who last year stated an intention to make €1billion in revenues by 2021 - are in a strong position, having far surpassed last season's then-record total of €914m.
However, operating profit stands at €17m, down from last season's €32m, while the club's net profit for 2017-18 was €13m, up from the €4.5million announced for 2018-19.
The club have already made major moves in the transfer market during the close season, with Frenkie de Jong - who was signed in January for an initial €75m - officially joining from Ajax, before Antoine Griezmann moved from Atletico Madrid for €120m.

Griezmann's move has caused controversy, though, with Atleti demanding a further €80m from Barca, while the is deal reportedly under investigation by the Royal Spanish Football Federation.
Reports of a sensational move for Neymar continue rumble on, with speculation rife Barca will bid to bring the Brazil star back to Camp Nou two years after he left for Paris Saint-Germain in a world-record €222m deal.

Well that didn’t go as planned. It looked like the Dodgers had pulled off another of their improbable comeback victories on Tuesday night after Matt Beaty hit a three-run home run in the top of the ninth in Philadelphia to give the team an 8-6 lead. Unfortunately, the Phillies still had a chance to bat. The Dodgers turned to Kenley Jansen , who gave up three runs in the bottom of the ninth of a 9-8 loss .

Adam Lallana, Jorginho and why Liverpool star really could be set for new role

Jurgen Klopp recently compared the two players, but would the role change make sense? Josh Williams takes a tactical look Speaking after Liverpool 's 3-1 win over Bradford City on Sunday, Jurgen Klopp was quoted comparing Adam Lallana to a relatively unexpected player. The man in question was Chelsea's Jorginho, a deeper-lying central midfielder who has developed a reputation for conducting his team's football from a withdrawn area of the pitch. Lallana on the other hand, has largely been deployed in offensive midfield zones under Klopp , linking the play and offering a glue of sorts in the final third. “Adam is the kind of player he can play that and he enjoys this 'Jorginho' role – I hope (former Chelsea boss) Maurizio Sarri doesn't see the games or he will make an offer!” joked Klopp. In terms of the profiles held by the two players, they are considered to be very different as a result of how they've been utilised over the course of their careers....
