The small print of Barça's numbers can be more interesting than the big print that fills the front pages and headlines. At least, it usually provides a more far-sighted view than the short-term perspective that fills daily debates and the arguments of the current board of directors when defending the numbers to the members. Financial years close with a fixed figure, positive or negative (In this case, a negative of 17 million euros), but behind this figure there may be debts, accounting engineering, pending depreciation and forward kicks that remain in a hidden room from the numbers displayed in the shop window.
