Barcelona's financial recovery is significant, as they have already earned 100.34 million euros from the UEFA Champions League, ranking just behind Bayern Munich and Arsenal in total earnings.

Barcelona has moved to increase the release clauses of their youngsters to prevent a repeat of the Dro saga. Youth players will start off with a release clause of €6m but that will increase to €8m if they debut in the Youth League and €10m if they play for Barcelona Atletic.

I'm very happy and very proud to be joining Paris Saint-Germain. This is a moment of huge pride for me and for my family," Dro said at his presentation with PSG. "I'm hugely excited and motivated to play and to give everything for this shirt.

Champions League winners Paris Saint-Germain topped the UEFA prize money table getting €144.4 million ($168 million) last season as the competition paid an extra €400 million ($466 million) among Europe's elite clubs in the expanded new format. The figures were confirmed in UEFA's financial report published Tuesday for the 2024-25 season, ahead of its annual congress next month in Brussels.

The Spaniard described Paris St-Germain's defeat at Sporting in the Champions League last week as their best away performance since he took over as manager in 2023. That is a bold claim, given the European champions have won in Barcelona and scored seven in Leverkusen this season alone. But the statistics do not necessarily contradict his assessment, even if the PSG boss may have been looking to shield his players from increased criticism.

However, Luis Enrique believes they cannot underestimate their opponents, especially after falling behind in the title race. "We're going to approach the match against Metz like any other," said the PSG boss. "It's a very important match because we need to put pressure on Lens and take all three points. "I can't remember any match against the bottom team that has gone without a hitch. We need those three points."
