Juventus game cancellation won't hurt Barca financially because of club's smart decision — explained

Barcelona were forced to cancel their game against Juventus, which was supposed to take place early in the morning today, because a lot of players suffered a viral infection.

Mundo Deportivo report that the Catalans will miss out on €2m from ticket sales.

However, Blaugrana will not have to pay anything for forfeiting the game. This is because they've included such situation in their insurance for their US tour. This is really clever from them as they could have risked paying to the organisers for not honouring their commitment if it wasn't insured.

The next game, against Arsenal on Thursday morning (Spain time), is expected to go ahead.
