Abidal joins injury list

Barcelona defender Eric Abidal damaged a hamstring in his right leg in his team’s win over Sporting Gijon and will be out of action for up to 10 days, the European champions said on Sunday.

The French international had to be substituted early in the second half of their 1-0 victory and is set to miss his country´s forthcoming Euro 2012 qualifiers against Albania and Bosnia.

Abidal joins Cesc Fabregas, who suffered a hamstring injury on Saturday, Andres Iniesta, Ibrahim Afellay and Alexis Sanchez in the Barca treatment room.

Barcelona could stand between AC Milan and Champions League glory

Coach Allegri insists the seven-times’ European Cup winners AC Milan will be ready for whoever they come out of the hat alongside in Thursday’s draw for the group stages of the Champions League in Monaco.

“I am convinced that, with a full squad, we are on a par with Real Madrid,” he stated. “The only exception is Barcelona“.

“Last season we went out of the competition against Tottenham because of some bad luck and a number of injuries.”

“I do not have to build a team, but I have to improve it. Milan are not perfect.

“Let me give you an example – when Barcelona lose the ball, they try to regain possession at a frenetic pace. That is one aspect we have to do better in.”

FC BARCELONA FINANCIAL BALANCE

FC BARCELONA FINANCIAL BALANCE

SETTLEMENT OF ACCOUNTS 2008/09 SEASON

Trading income: 415.4 million euros
Operating costs: 486.9 million euros
Ebitda (Earnings before tax and depreciations): -82.6 million euros
Operating profit or loss: +22.4 million euros
Income / financial expenses: -71.5 million euros
Net profit or loss: -11.1 million euros
Cash flow: -79.6 million euros

BUDGET 2009/10 SEASON

Trading income: 420.2 million euros
Operating costs: 428.1 million euros
Operating profit or loss: -7.9 million euros
Financial and extraordinary profit or loss: -13.5 million euros
Before tax net profit or loss: -21.4 million euros

Javier Faus revealed the audit numbers: “Barcelona’s debt as of today is the biggest in the club’s history. That doesn’t mean anything but that we are not comfortable working with this debt. The current debt is the biggest in the club’s history, even greater than in 2003. The losses back in 2002-2003 in Gaspart’s era were the biggest in the club’s history at the time and on top of that the income that Barca has today is much bigger than back in 2002-2003. After explaining all this, I still prefer the club’s current picture.”

Here are the differences (in million euros):
Category Laporta Rosell
Benefits 445 408
Expenses 428 477
Balance 11 -77
Debt 200 442

As you can see there is a difference of 88 million Euros.

2011 season
Barcelona made a smaller loss than expected last season and are confident of returning to profit in the 2011-12 campaign after two years of deficits, vice-president for economic affairs Javier Faus has said.
La Liga – Barca report smaller loss

The Spanish and European champions posted a pre-tax loss of 9.3 million euros (£8.2m) in the year to the end of June, less than half the 21.4 million euros expected and down from 83 million euros in the year-earlier period, Faus said.

Winning the Champions League, the club’s new sponsorship deal with Qatar Foundation, a strong turnout at the Camp Nou stadium and a surge in visitors to the club’s museum had helped trim the deficit, he added.

“Our obligation is to make a profit from next season and we will do that,” he said. “For the first time in two years we will present a budget that foresees profit.”

Operating income rose to 473.4 million euros, an increase of 14 per cent compared with the 2009-10 season, while costs were up 10.4 per cent to 472.6 million euros, made higher by win bonuses to players following the club’s domestic and European successes.

Net debt fell to 363.7 million euros from 430.6 million.
