AC Milan are gearing up to face Napili in the Champions League quarter-finals on Wednesday evening. It’s the first of two legs and the Rossoneri are optimistic, having beaten the Partenopei 4-0 recently.
It will be an interesting clash underneath the floodlights at San Siro as Milan managed to beat Napoli 4-0 just last weekend. A lot is on the line and the Rossoneri seem to have a slight psychological advantage, but it’s not certain.
Making it through to the semi-finals would be huge for both sides, not just because they would face Inter or Benfica there but also financially. In fact, securing a spot in the semi-final instantly gets you an extra €12.5m.
Milan have already secured €71.4m in prize money as well as roughly €32m in ticket sales (read our breakdown on Substack). A semi-final spot would thus give the extra €12.5m mentioned above plus around €9m in ticket sales.
In addition to that, we must also add the market pool 2, which is decided based on how far the Italian teams make it in the competition. The one who gets the farthest gets the most money. In short, we are talking about at least an additional €21.5m.
A lot of prize money 🤑
That’s in total €146.4m.
Gery cardinale would be happy to pocket all that money for RedBird
Yeah keep telling yourself that all the money goes to Redbird 🙃
I said before and i will say again these Redbird or Elliott they make 250ml profit every year and they don’t want to spend money they just bribe Maldini for millions and there is no one protesting against these scams
LOL. Some people here are sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo clueless about the owners “getting rich” from Milan financial success. The owners aren’t getting a single dime when Milan’s making losses. And they are. End of story.
sorry guys but the truth is that it will help to cover some of the losses the China guy got us into maybe by half, we need to balance the account first to avoid sanctions due to financial fair play rules, we can the talk of transfers and our new stadium
Well… The stadium will be built on loan-money no matter what so that doesn’t change things much. But yeah, the accounts need to be fixed before any “prize money” will be used somewhere (or go to the owners’ pockets as some people think).
Trillions of dollars is what we’re getting
