The ‘stick’ that Mbappé’s goal can give to Real Madrid’s treasury

the goal that Mbappe scored in the first leg of PSG-Real Madrid in the round of 16 of the Champions League could have a repercussion direct in the treasury of which according to all indications will be the next club of the French crack.

A elimination of Carlo Ancelotti’s team in this round of the competition would cause a economic loss in relation to what was budgeted by the club in its forecasts for this course, for which the club had made its numbers based on the classification of the team, as minimumuntil quarter finals of the Champions.

According to the document published by the white entity itself on its website, Real Madrid has planned enter this course, for the concept of ‘Friendlies and international competitions’, €98.6 million. So far, Real Madrid’s participation in this Champions League shows some income of 39.24 million (15.64 for participating in the league, 14 for the five victories obtained in that phase and 9.6 for reaching the round of 16), to which must be added those from the box office. The television ‘bonus’ is contemplated in another budget section, that of ‘Retransmission Income’.

In the aforementioned document it is established as target in the Champions League quarter finals, one more round than last year, when the objective was the eighth and in the end the semifinals were reached. For ‘Friendlies and International Competitions’ the club entered the course 2020-2021 the amount of 116.163 million euros, ‘favored’ by the fact that the 2019-20 Champions League was extended beyond June 30, 2019 due to the pandemic, for which part of the income from that edition was allocated to the 2020-21 financial year.

Not accessing the rooms would mean the immediate impact to stop entering 10.6 million euros that UEFA grants entry to all the teams that earn the right to be in this round, plus the income corresponding to the box office. Reaching the semis means entering 12.5 million, being runner-up is rewarded with 15.5 kilos and winning the ‘orejona’, with 20.

To this loss should be added the reduction in income from television rights, that UEFA distributes at the end of the season based on the achievements and classification achieved by the various teams participating in the tournament. An authentic ‘stick’ for the madridista coffers that could carry the signature of his next ‘galactic’.
