FC Bayern: Uli Hoeneß hands out against Barcelona - “Negotiating with the president or the insolvency administrator?
According to its own president, Joan Laporta, the 26-time Spanish champion is currently said to have amassed a mountain of debt of 1.35 billion euros due to the mismanagement in recent years.
The financial situation bottomed out in the summer when Barcelona were unable to renew club legend Lionel Messi's contract *.
As a result, some stars responded by waiving their salary.
Barcelona is "therefore no longer a role model for us," said Hoeneß to the radio station and told the example of a dialogue between him and ex-Bayern professional Alaba, who plays for Real Madrid today.
“David Alaba, for example, once told me: 'My dream is to still play in Barcelona'.
So I said to him: 'Do you want to negotiate with the president or the insolvency administrator?' ", Recalls Hoeneß.

I am also in favor of going to the limit. But at the moment when the whole thing can no longer be refinanced, you have to say 'no'. And say, I won't win the Champions League, ”said the former Bayern manager, assessing the situation in last year's third in the Spanish league.
On Tuesday evening from 9 p.m. Bayern can prove directly at Camp Nou that they haven't forgotten anything since the 8-2 in the Champions League quarter-finals last summer.

In contrast to the financial circumstances, the sporting factors will play a major role in the duel between the two top clubs.
