Paradox. Burnley earned more for relegation from the Premier League than Barcelona did for winning La Liga

The financial power of the English Premier League is simply out of this world.

Details: As it turns out, Burnley, who were relegated to the Championship after finishing 19th—second to last—in the Premier League, will earn more than Barcelona, who clinched the La Liga title this season.

The financial gap between the Premier League and La Liga is so vast that Burnley will receive £50 million, while the La Liga champions from Catalonia will be paid £46 million for their triumph.

Clubs relegated from the Premier League to the Championship are guaranteed 'parachute payments' for several seasons to offset the loss of broadcast revenue.

In La Liga, the base prize fund is structured more intricately, and the distribution is far more differentiated, with payments often being made in installments over several years.
