He may not have been able to repeat a similarly successful season last year, but the football year that ended 1,5 months ago brought the biggest gains for Barcelona.

The season is financially successful for Barcelona
The Catalans showed a 10% increase in revenue compared to the period 2008-09, reaching 445,5 million euros. Of that, $ 121 million came from marketing activities, $ 25 million from player sales and lending, and $ 15 million from the sale of land in St. Joan Despi.
However, expenses also increased by 18%, reaching 429 million euros, resulting in a net profit of 9 million euros and a deficit of 326 million euros.
Of the 429m euros in expenses, 305 went to transfers, salaries and player bonuses, while the rest went to operating expenses and other expenses.
In the 2008-09 season, Real became the first sports club to generate more than € 400 million in revenue, according to Deloitte's annual report.
