The Champions League has changed its format this season, with the promise that clubs would earn more money from participating in the tournament, despite having to play two more group stage matches. And the current scheme seems to have made many teams happy, regardless of their position in the overall standings.
Taking into account the fixed rewards, as well as the bonuses allocated to each club based on the final ranking in this group stage, it turns out that this scheme has led to many teams securing staggering profits simply from UEFA, without counting ticket revenue or their personal marketing.
Liverpool, the leader of the ranking, is the one that has won the most, with a total that has exceeded 56 million euros, as, like the other 7 clubs that have advanced to the second phase with direct elimination, that of the best 16, an additional bonus of 11 million euros has been added. All the clubs in the first eight have secured over 50 million euros from UEFA, which will significantly help these teams in planning for the future.
Among the others, Atalanta leads with almost 38 million euros, while Milan is behind by about 1 million euros or Juventus by 6 million euros. The club with the least profits from the group stage turns out to be Young Boys with almost 19 million euros.
