UEFA have released the figures for how much each club
collected out of the marketing pool from last seasons Champions
League and it seems everyone is a winner.
Eventual winners AC Milan took the most, 39.59 million but they
were by no means the only club to profit.
Runners-up Liverpool benefited to the tune of 32.2 million, but
were overtaken by Chelsea who netted 34.6 million.
All remaining participants made huge financial gains through their
appearances in Europes premier club competition.
Bayern Munich, who have not qualified for this years competition,
will be increasingly aware of the financial loss this will
cause.
They received 28.7 million from the pool, but will have to settle
for the UEFA Cup next season. Interestingly, Sevilla who won the
UEFA Cup last season gained only 6.2 million for their
efforts.
It just goes to show the huge gains to be made out of the Champions
League.
