Barcelona finished last season with a profit for the fifth consecutive year, despite failing to win any silverware, the club announced on Friday.

Net profits were €10.1 million, vice president for finance Ferran Soriano told a press conference. The club's debt was reduced to €28 million he said.

The last title won by Barcelona is the Spanish Supercup in 2006,  a trophy for the winner of a match between the champions of the  previous season and the winner of Spanish Cup.

The club, which will enter the preliminary round of the European  Champions Cup for 2008-09, has just spent €29 million to buy  Brazilian defender Daniel Alves from Seville.
