All the income (and losses) of Juventus, Lazio, Atalanta, Inter and not only with the Champions League
matches There are matches that are worth much more than the canonical three points up for grabs. In Champions League matches, a defeat or a victory could make the difference for the Italian teams, both from a sporting and an economic point of view. In fact, passing the group, qualifying for the knockout phase of the competition, means being among the best 16 clubs in Europe and is worth several million euros. JUVENTUS
Juventus, with a historic victory at the Camp Nou in Barcelona (the Catalans, within the friendly walls, had been unbeaten since 2013 in the highest European competition) and secured the first place in their group with the relative bonus of 9.5 million for the ‘arrival in the round of 16. In any case, the Piedmontese club, thanks to the European path taken so far, has guaranteed revenues of over 70 million, equaling the result obtained last season.
Even before playing a single game, the bianconeri received 44.4 million from UEFA: 14.5 million for their participation in the competition alone and 29.9 for the European ranking earned thanks to the cup results obtained in the last decade.
In addition to the aforementioned prize for the round of 16, Uefa provides a bonus of 2.7 million for each win and 900 thousand euros for each draw. Which, thanks to the five successes (twice against Ferencvaros and Dinamo Kiev in addition to the last against Barca) achieved by Juve, is equivalent to a further 13.5 million. To these already considerable collections must be added the share of the market pool, that is the national system for the redistribution of television rights which, due to the global economic crisis, UEFA has revised downwards. It is not yet possible to know how much the market pool share will decrease (although it is assumed to be around 4%) destined for each team as this decrease will be applied in June 2021 on the final installment of the prize money for the current season. LAZIO
Even Lazio, thanks to the 2-2 achieved at the Olimpico with the Belgians of Club Brugge, qualified for the round of 16.
The Biancocelesti have not obtained this result for twenty years and it is for this reason that the revenues obtained by Uefa are for now considerably lower than those of Juventus.
The Lotito club, again without considering the share of TV rights, collected a figure close to 45 million: as for the bianconeri, Lazio will be entitled to 14.5 million for participation and 9.5 million for the qualification to which others must be added. 12.2 for the European ranking of the last 10 years. THE NEROAZZURRI OF ATALANTA AND INTER
Atalanta and Inter were called to close a poker that, in addition to a breath of fresh air of almost 10 million, would have established a new record: since the Champions League formula includes single-elimination clashes after the group, Italy has never managed to bring four teams to the second round.
Not even this year, however, the “en plein” was hit, the Nerazzurri from Bergamo snatched the qualification with a 0-1 (even a draw would have been enough) of great suffering in Amsterdam on the Ajax pitch, while those of Milan they could only win to hope for the next round, but a disappointing 0-0 came at the San Siro with the Ukrainians of Shakhtar Donetsk. ATALANTA
Atalanta therefore hits another historic result by qualifying for the second year in a row in the knockout phase. This enterprise ensures new resources to fuel the growth process admired in recent years under the guidance of Giampiero Gasperini who guaranteed consolidation in the top positions in the league and, surprisingly, a leading role in the 2019/20 edition of the Champions League. . At least 37.2 million from UEFA will arrive in the club’s coffers as follows: 14.5 for participation, 3.3 for the historical ranking, 9.9 match bonuses (given by three away wins, two evenings and one defeat) and 9.5 for the passage of the round.
Last season, the path of the Goddess in the cup stopped in the quarterfinals, one step away from the semifinal, at the hands of Paris Saint Germain. A shattered dream, however, sweetened by the 57.7 million collected from this competition. INTER
Behind the blackboard finish Conte and him who for the third year in a row fail to grab the qualification in the last useful match of the group. In addition to the bad figure on a sporting level (the Inter group was more than affordable) in via della Liberazione they will have to deal with a further decrease in revenues compared to last year, not good news given the current economic difficulties and the red of over 100 million of the 2020 budget approved by the shareholders at the end of November.
In fact, if it is true that even in the last edition of the Champions League, the Nerazzurri stopped at the group stage, the August ride towards the Europa League final, then lost to Sevilla, had guaranteed 10 million which, added to the 46 arrived. from the Champions League they approached the 60 million mark. This year, however, the disastrous European campaign has ensured the last place of the group that does not even guarantee access to the Europa League, effectively closing the tap of Uefa funds at the threshold of 36.5 million (14.5 for participation , 16.6 for the ranking and 5.4 the result of three draws, one victory and two defeats), just over half of what was earned last season.
