Atlético de Madrid: Economic Triumph in Champions League
Atleti, doing great in Europe! Our team has once again demonstrated that grit and good play translate into success, not only sporting, but also economic! The Rojiblancos have already pocketed the not inconsiderable sum of 53.62 million euros thanks to their excellent performance in the Champions League group stage.
That well-deserved fifth place in the general table brought us an additional 8.8 million euros. A financial boost that comes in handy to continue strengthening the team and dream of even higher goals! And beware, to this amount we must add what we earn from the ‘Value Pillar’, that new UEFA formula that rewards brand value and sporting performance.
The new Champions League format has been key to boosting the income of all clubs, and Atlético has been no exception. UEFA has significantly increased the prizes, which allows us to compete with the greats of Europe on equal terms.
Remember that reaching the quarter-finals meant an extra income of 12.5 million euros for the qualified teams. And the rewards continue to increase as we advance in the competition! Let’s dream of the semi-finals, which grant an additional 15 million euros, and the grand final, where the finalists will pocket 18.5 million euros, with a bonus of 6.5 million for the champion! Forza Atleti! Let’s continue to support our team in every game, because together we can achieve glory and continue to add sporting and economic successes.
