The mattress club, which failed in Europe this season, subscribed almost 90 million for the Champions League 21-22
Almost 90 million euros. That was the economic “pinch” that Atlético de Madrid got in the 2021-2022 season for participating in UEFA competitions. The mattress club, which failed this edition in the Champions League and was even left out of the Europa League, something that will negatively affect its income, received 89 “kilo” in prize money from UEFA last season, when it was eliminated in the quarter-finals for Manchester City, in a game where the colchoneros came very close to forcing extra time in Madrid.
Atlético de Madrid has entered 89 million in economic prizes for the 2021-22 Champions League
According to the economic report made public by UEFA, Atleti have contributed a total of 89.5 million euros for their participation in European competitions. The distribution of these prizes in the sports section would be as follows: 15.6 million for participation in the Champions League, plus 6.9 for wins and draws in the group stage, plus a further 9.6 million for qualifying for the round of 16 and another 10.6 for playing in the quarter-finals.
The division of the UEFA prizes: Real Madrid 113 million, Villarreal 78, Barça 64 and Sevilla, 51.9 “kilos”
In addition, the mattress box received 31.8 million euros for the coefficient, plus another 15.2 “kilo” for the concept of the “market pool”. A total of nearly 90 million for the treasury of rojiblancas. As for the rest of the Spanish clubs, the Real Madrid earned €113.7 million, Villarreal earned €78 million, FC Barcelona barely earned €64.6 million and Sevilla FC earned €51.9 million in prize money.
On the other hand, the disappointing mattress performance in this Champions League will mean a serious reduction in these revenues, as the mattress box will end up around 40 million between coefficient and market pool, plus the 15.6 “kilos” for participating in the group stage. Instead, they will barely add 2.5 million (one win and two draws) for the group stage and stay out of the round of 16. One boat estimate quickly suggests that Atleti would sit around 60 million for UEFA competitions this season.
In other words, it is normal that when the official UEFA report is made public at the end of the current 22-23 season, Atleti will stop putting in almost 30 million compared to what was put in the 21-22 season potted.
