CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TALK

I day to go now before we play at our UEFA Champions League home, our second home, Wembley.

The table below shows the prize money for the three-year cycle 2015-2018. Whilst it isn't a concern when we play, the more points we get in the group stages the more revenue we generate. The prize money for a draw remains the same but you now get an extra £840,000 if you win.



The following is an extract taken from the official UEFA website

• The net amount available to participating clubs will be split on a 60:40 basis between fixed amounts and variable amounts (market pool).
• Based on the net amount of €1.2689bn, the fixed amounts will be €761.9m (group stage allocations, performance and qualification bonuses) and the variable amounts €507m (market pool).

• Basil allocation for each clug in group stage: €12.7m.
• Performance bonus per group win: €1.5m 
• Performance bonus per group draw: €500,000 per draw.
• Non-distributed amounts (€500,000 per draw) will be pooled and redistributed among the clubs playing in the group stage in amounts proportionate to their number of wins.
• Round of 16 appearance: €6m 
• Quarter-final appearance: €6.5m 
• Semi-finalist appearance €7.5m
• The UEFA Champions League winners can expect to receive €15.5m and the runners-up €11m, inclusive of their share of ticket revenue from the final (no additional amount will be paid to the finalists in relation to ticketing as was customary in the past).
