Arsenal will get an unexpected bonus from Barcelona winning the Champions League final last night - an extra £3million from the Spaniards from their sale of Thomas Vermaelen last summer.
Arsenal inserted clause in the deal which related to Champions League performances - by winning, Barcelona have to pay to full £3million - which is nice particularly as Vermaelen has only played one game for Barcelona since signing for them, due to tearing a hamstring during the World Cup.
