Pretty sure that I've heard that messi's salary is higher than Ibrahimovic's in barca. There are some mistakes in that list but interesting read though :beer:

They all deserve it.
But barcelona is more than a club.Why are the players getting the bulk of the financial proceeds?

What exactly do they do for the barcelona community?

I think a lot of it has to do with the tax system in Spain. Something on the lines that if you live in Spain for more than 5 years (not sure), you are a resident (or something) which means you end up paying more tax. Hence Messi's salary costs Barca more than Ibrahimovic's. But the actual money that Ibra earns is more than Messi as Barca pays the taxes...
