The paradox of the EPL: The departure of Burnley brought in more money than Barcelona’s championship win. Burnley earned more money from being relegated from the EPL than Barcelona did from winning the Spanish championship. The club that finished 19th in England received 57.5 million euros for a disappointing season with just 21 points. Meanwhile, the best team in Spain, with 94 points, only received 52.9 million euros. This financial imbalance is due to the “parachute payments” given to clubs that are relegated from the EPL. Over the past 6 years, Burnley has been relegated three times, and it earned more than 150 million euros from these payments.
