Benfica leaves the Champions League with a €29.3 million deficit compared to last season’s revenue. With Tuesday’s win, the Eagles increased their income this season to €43.3 million, down from €72.6 million in 2022/23 when they reached the quarter-finals.
Benfica now have the Europa League to try and plug the hole in their books. The playoff fight for reaching the 1/8 finals already brings 500 thousand euros. If the trophy is won, the second UEFA tournament will be worth 14.9 million euros, in addition to participation in the European Super Cup: the prize for attendance is 3.5 million euros, the victory is 1 million euros. The potential profit associated with the Europa League is therefore €19.4 million.
This is the path that “Sp.” will strive to follow. Braga”. Minho’s team left the Champions League with 31.9 million euros, on top of the 500 billion euros from the Europa League playoffs.
FC Porto, fighting for the “eighth” place in the Champions League, has earned 50.2 million euros so far.
