FC Barcelona has secured a crucial victory in the UEFA Champions League group stage by defeating Borussia Dortmund at their stadium. This triumph brings Barça closer to the round of 16 and has caused revenue from economic incentives.
Participation Revenue
So far, Barça has earned 29.1 million euros in this edition of the Champions League. Out of this amount, 18.6 million euros belongs to the money allocated to all teams participating in the group stage. This figure is fixed and is awarded to each of the 36 qualified teams, regardless of their performance in the matches.
The Catalonian team has shown strong performance in the competition, having won 5 out of the 6 matches played so far. Each victory in the group stage grants 2.1 million euros, which has allowed FC Barcelona to accumulate a total of 10.5 million from these wins. If they continue this streak, Barça could reach an even higher figure.
Potential Additional Revenue
Although the group stage is nearing its end, FC Barcelona still has the opportunity to increase its financial haul. With two matches left to play, the club could earn an additional 4.2 million euros, raising the total amount to 33.3 million euros.
However, the revenue could continue to grow depending on how the team progresses in the competition.
Qualification Bonuses
One of FC Barcelona's main goals is to secure direct qualification for the round of 16. This achievement is rewarded by UEFA with 11 million euros, which represents a considerable amount for the club. If achieved, the blaugranas would secure a significant financial sum.
Additionally, if FC Barcelona finishes the group stage as the leader of their group, they would receive an additional bonus of 10 million euros. This would raise the total revenue to 53.4 million euros, a figure that reflects the economic importance of the competition for the club.
The current Champions League campaign is proving profitable for FC Barcelona. The combination of strong sports results and the economic prizes awarded by UEFA is allowing the club to earn a significant amount. However, the goal remains to advance as far as possible in the competition, which could bring even more benefits for the club.
