Barca will be rooting for Atletico: two million euros if they progress

Luis Suarez's transfer continues to be criticised among the Barcelona ranks. However, the club are still keeping an eye on his season, especially in the Champions League.

They will pay particular attention to what happens on Wednesday night at Stamford Bridge. There, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid will fight for a place in the Champions League quarter finals.

According to 'AS', if the Madrid club make it to the next round, Barcelona will receive two million euros in add-ons from Luis Suarez's transfer last summer, a clause that will still hold true for next season.

Their qualification would also benefit Barcelona in regard to the title race. Atletico's qualification would add at least two more games into their schedule, reducing their available rest time.

As for Atletico, in addition to the on-field success, progresssing to the next stage would see them earn 10.5 million euros directly.
