FC Bayern is rolling in the cash
After Wedesnday’s 2-0 win over Union Saint-Giloise, Bayern Munich has clinched direct progression to the Round of 16 in the Champions League, and they have good reason to maintain their position in the table.
The league phase hasn’t even finished, and Bayern have already secured more than €50m in Champions League revenue this season (via Kicker as captured by X account @iMiaSanMia). They’ve earned €12.6 million for six wins (each worth €2.1 million), €2 million for finishing in the top eight, and €11 million for reaching the round of 16.
UEFA will also hand out up to €9.9 million based on a club’s final league phase position. Bayern is guaranteed at least a top four finish and will receive a minimum of €9.075 million; if they maintain their second-place position, they can earn up to €9.625 million. Add in the TV market pool and ticket revenue and Bayern have an excellent chance of breaking the €100m mark again, as they did the year before.
