Barcelona’s salary cap slashed amid financial struggles

Barcelona’s salary cap has been significantly reduced because of its financial struggles, becoming more than seven times smaller than that of rival Real Madrid, the Spanish league said Wednesday. The league said Barcelona’s spending limit on salaries for the 2021-22 season has been set at 97 million euros, about 285 million euros less than a year ago. Barcelona's struggles had already forced the league to slash the club's cap from a league-high 670 million euros in 2019-20 to 385 million euros last season.
