Barca's long road to recovery

Earlier, Sports Brief reported Barcelona's La Liga triumph proves they are heading in the right direction, but the road back to Europe's elite remains long and treacherous.

President Joan Laporta mortgaged part of the club's future last summer to sign Robert Lewandowski, Jules Kounde, and other star names, with Barcelona over $1.1 billion in debt.

It paid off in the top flight as Barcelona won the league for the first time in four years, but a humiliating Champions League group elimination saw the Catalans drop into the Europa League.
