Barcelona have reportedly missed out on an extra two million euros as part of the Luis Suarez transfer deal after Atletico Madrid exited the Champions League at the last-16 stage.
Suarez joined Atletico from Barca last summer in a deal that angered both fans of the club, former players and superstar forward Lionel Messi, the Uruguayan's closest friend in football.
Messi was livid at the decision to allow Suarez to move to one of Barca's La Liga rivals, with the forward's new club currently four points clear of his old one at the top of the table.
However, Atletico joined Barca in being eliminated from the Champions League at the last-16 stage on Wednesday night, when Chelsea wrapped up a 3-0 aggregate victory over the side from the Spanish capital at Stamford Bridge.
Spanish reports claim that Barca were due the two million euros if Atletico matched their Champions League performance of last season and reached the last eight, but Suarez was ultimately disappointing as they were well beaten by Thomas Tuchel's side.
Although having a largely impressive season, the 34-year-old has failed to score in his last six Champions League games for Atletico, while you have to go back to 2015 for his last away goal in the competition.
Atletico boss Diego Simeone opted to substitute Suarez just before the hour mark at Chelsea, and the forward was visibly disappointed to be replace by Angel Correa.

Simeone acknowledged that anger though, and said he wasn't too disappointed by it..
"It’s normal that he got angry when he was taken off players want to stay on," he told reporters.
"We wanted a new way to attack them so we made changes."
