Despite being eliminated in the playoff of the group stage in the Copa Libertadores de América, Barcelona SC has a challenge ahead of it: to be champion of the Copa Sudamericana, which it reached the group stage, after losing to América Mineiro in the Liberators itself.
The bullfighter team arrived undefeated in the Copa Sudamericana, after six games without losing in the Libertadores, but was left out after losing 5-4 on penalties against the Brazilians.
His walk was made up of four draws and two wins with a balance of 4-1 in goals.
Such a performance can place him as one of the favorites to advance to the round and at the same time be on the way to a prize that, although it is not the same as the Libertadores, could mean an important income.
For reaching the group stage, he gets a million dollars, which is added to the $1,500,000 he earned for playing the three previous stages of the Libertadores.
From then on, the bullfighter cadre will increase its prizes as it progresses.
Prizes distributed by the Copa Sudamericana
If he reaches the round of 16, he will have an additional $550,000, while if he reaches the quarterfinals, he will add $650,000. Then, in the semifinals, he will have 950 thousand.
In case of reaching the final, he will secure 5 million dollars more if he manages to be champion, but if he loses this decisive match, he will barely win 2 million.
Taking into account what was won in the Libertadores, Barcelona SC could obtain $8,750,000 at the end of the international season, as long as it is the South American champion.

The same figure could be obtained by the Catholic University of Quito if it manages to travel this same path. The Camaratta team also went to the third round of the Libertadores but was eliminated in the third phase against The Strongest from Bolivia. (D)
