Barcelona's financial calamity has directly impacted the club on the pitch as well as off it, and Thursday evening will show the results of that with the Catalan club beginning their Europa League campaign.
Having not been in UEFA's secondary club competition since the 2003/04 season, Barcelona will host Napoli at the Camp Nou on Thursday evening.
Xavi Hernandez will see the competition as a route back into the Champions League if they can win the tournament, especially with finishing inside the LaLiga Santander top four looking increasingly difficult.
Ironically, Napoli may well see the tie as something of a distraction, with the club involved in the Serie A title race.
