Barcelona bonus incentives for winning La Liga
The players from the Catalan side are set to get a nice financial bonus if, as expected, they lift the league trophy on Saturday evening.
As we head into the final day's action in the league, much of the talk has been around the two teams that will be facing off against title contenders Barcelona and Real Madrid. Rumours of player preferences and accusations of financial incentives for Deportivo and, more acutely, Granada have been rife with so much at stake.

While the talk of suitcases stuffed with cash being sent to Granada has been the focus, we seem to have forgotten that Barcelona's players are also in line to collect a hefty sum if they win against Granada thereby guaranteeing them their sixth title in eight years. According to Sport the first squad will share out a cool 18 million euros.
As the report states, the main protagonists of the championship winning side would receive one million euros per head with the lesser members a lower amount but still at least 300,000. It is clear that there is a lot riding on the final day matches, both individually and collectively. And, of course, professional pride will win out in the end.
