Bayern Munich president hits out at Barcelona's management | OneFootball

The honorary president of Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeness, made strong criticisms of the management model of Barcelona. Questioning the sporting merit in European football, the former player finds it absurd that the Catalan team has been spending more than it earns for years.

“We can be proud of a solid management, with economic criteria and a sporting quality that does not depend on financial maneuvers,” he stated. 

The president claims that this situation is completely opposite to the business model managed by the German team, with a good economy that, in his view, should be a model for the rest of Europe. While Barcelona remains with about 1.45 billion euros in debt, Bayern achieved a record profit of 187.8 million euros.

“I find it absurd and incomprehensible that they continue playing in the first division. It is a club model that I would never respect. In any normal country, a club managed like that wouldn't even be in the first division,” Hoeness concluded.
