The Billion-Euro Debt: How Bartomeu Bankrupted Barcelona

Barcelona didn’t get into financial problems overnight. They collapsed while they were winning. In 2015, FC Barcelona were champions of Europe. By 2021, they were buried under €1.35 billion of debt. So what happened in between? This video investigates the presidency of Josep Maria Bartomeu — the accidental president who inherited one of football’s richest clubs and left it on the brink of financial ruin. Using audited financial statements, official club accounts, and reporting by Reuters, BBC, The Guardian, Financial Times, and El País, this video breaks down: Why Neymar’s exit triggered a financial chain reaction How Barcelona’s wage bill quietly crossed 100% of revenue The transfer decisions that locked the club into years of losses The accounting tricks that hid the damage Why COVID didn’t cause the crisis — it exposed it And how Barcelona survived by selling parts of its future This isn’t about hindsight. It’s about decisions. And their consequences. ▶️ Watch till the end — the numbers tell a very different story. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chapters 0:00 - Disclaimer 02:34- Title 02:40- The Golden Cage 04:00- The Accidental President 05:03- The Neymar Curse 06:03 - Human Trophies & Wage Explosion 07:28 - Accounting Tricks 08:27 - Barçagate & The Fallout 09:38 - The Inheritance 16:33- Selling the Future 18:10 - Lessons from the Collapse ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 📚 Sources & References Official Club & League Documents FC Barcelona – Annual Financial Reports (2014–2025) https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/club/o...
